Knowing the religion is important in finding records before 1864, when civil registration began.

The Church of Ireland (Anglican) was the second largest church in Ireland, although less than 10% of Ireland belonged to the church. Most of the members are found in, what is today, Northern Ireland. A majority of these records were destroyed in a fire in 1922. However, fragments and transcripts of some of these records exist and can be found online. See Church of Ireland Records for more information

The majority of records cannot be accessed online. Most of the records are available at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), the Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland, or individual congregations.
