 Ireland Lineages and Research |
|
Research Abstracts Most of the ancient historical and genealogical records of Ireland (including Northern Ireland) were destroyed by fire at the Dublin Public Record Office in the 1920s. Very few records survived. Most of the records available for research today were those located at other locations at the time or abstracted by historians prior to the fire. The following abstracts were sourced from primary research in Dublin Ireland in 2002. Researched: National Library of Ireland, National Archives of Ireland, Registry of Deeds, Genealogical Office Note: This research ignored many pre 15th century abstracts found primarily in published volumes, concentrating only on later data. Note: Dates used by the index of Prerogative Wills may not be identical to the relevant Will dated and abstracted by Betham or Thrifft. In other words, they are likely one in the same person but different sources used different dates found in the documents. The original documents no longer exist.
