We receive many requests regarding genealogy and searching of Parish Records. Unfortunately we are not in a position to do this. The Church of Ireland's Official Web Site provides a comprehensive guide to records held by the Church of Ireland. Archives & Parochial Registers The Representative Church Body Library is the Church of Ireland's principal repository for its archives and manuscripts, and holds records from some 600 parishes in the Republic of Ireland. Records from a small number of parishes in the Republic are in the National Archives, and the remainder are in the custody of local clergy. The staff of the RCB Library will be glad to offer advice on all queries concerning Church of Ireland archives and manuscripts and related printed and reference works. It should be stressed, however, that they will not undertake genealogical research on behalf of readers. If you have any genealogical queries, please contact the RCB Library - E-mail: library@ireland.anglican.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location of Parish Records Clergy are not required to conduct searches on behalf of researchers, but they are required to make the registers available to researchers or their agents: If you are making the search yourself you should write to the clergyperson to make an appointment and confirm that appointment by telephone before travelling.
