RECORDS AT THE FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY


Microform RecordsLook this term up in the glossary.

The Family History Library has more than 11,500 microfilms and 3,000 microfiche containing information about people who have lived in Ireland. Most of the library's records have been obtained through an extensive microfilming program. The library's collection includes:

  • Church baptism, marriage, and burial records.
  • Deeds and tax records.
  • Census records.
  • Probate records.
  • Estate records.
  • Compiled family histories, pedigrees, and biographies.
  • School records.
  • Occupational records.
  • Military records.

While the library has records from all over Ireland, it does not have records for every time period or locality in Ireland. For example, the library has few church records from County Cork.


Printed Records

The library has over 3,500 volumes of books, periodicals, and other printed materials helpful for Irish research. Copies of some of these publications are available on microfilm. These publications may include:
