Ireland Strategies for Locating Births, Marriages and Deaths

Civil registration began in 1864 for Birth, Marriage, and Death, except the registration of non Catholic marriages, which began earlier in 1845. Prior to 1864, you will need to search Church Records for Births, Marriages and Deaths (prior to 1845 for Protestant Marriages). The index to the Civil Registration is now available on the internet at 'family search pilot site'.
