The main primary records that are currently available online and are free to access are:
- Census Records – 1901 and 1911 Census records are available at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ – these records give details of the persons staying in the household on the night of each census.
- Griffith’s Primary Valuation of Ireland – these records record details of occupiers of properties and were prepared during the 1840s and 1850s. The records only record the name of the head of each household.
- Tithe Applotment Books – these records are available at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp – these records record details of occupiers of properties and were prepared during the period 1823 to 1837. Records are not available online for each year and in a number of cases only one year is accessible online. Again the records only record the name of the head of each household.
- Church and Civil Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths – these records are available at https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ – these records record Church and Civil Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths. Civil Registrations for Roman Catholic births, marriages and deaths started in 1864. For a number of parishes there are records for periods prior to 1864, though there are gaps in these records.
