This week we attended our first virtual class at the National Genealogical Society's 2020 Family History Conference. We chose the session called "Shamrocks in Cyberspace."
Subscription websites:
Ancestry - Begin by using the card catalog for "Ireland." Catholic parish records for 1655-1915 are available, as well as Griffith's Valuation.
FindMyPast.ie - It looks as if the Irish collection is a separate subscription. Two databases were recommended: Ireland Petty Court Records 1828-1914 and A-Z Record Sets for Landed Estates Court Rentals 1850-1885.
Roots Ireland is the website of the Irish Family History Foundation. You can purchase a 24-hour pass to view transcribed records of baptism/birth, marriage and death records. There are a few early census records and the 1901 and 1911 census.
JohnGrenham.com provides a surname search plus the ability to cross reference a second surname.
Free websites:
Irish National Archives - This is the best website for the 1901 and 1911 census records.
National Library of Ireland - There are maps available to locate parish names and Catholic parish registers have recently been added to the site.
Proni - The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland has an online database of freeholders who were eligible to vote. Proni would be a place to begin for Scots-Irish research.
Irish Genealogy ie - New civil vital records include births 1864-1919, marriages 1845-1944 and deaths 18778-1969.
The Ireatlas (The Core.com) - Find the 1851 index to Townlands and Towns and Parishes.
Ask About Ireland - Griffith's Valuation for those who do not have an Ancestry subscripton.
