Narrative

This website contains images from the NLI’s collection of Catholic parish register microfilms. The registers contain records of baptisms and marriages from the majority of Catholic parishes in Ireland and Northern Ireland up to 1880.

The NLI does not have it's own search engine, but both Find My Past and Ancestry provide free access to their indexed collection of the NLI’s Catholic parish registers, meaning that you can use both of those sites to search for baptisms and marriages in Ireland.

History of NLI's Catholic Parish Registers
"In the 1950s and early 1960s, the National Library of Ireland carried out a project to microfilm the surviving Catholic parish registers of the entire island. Out of 1153 sets of registers, this project covered 1066. Among the parishes whose records it does not include are: Rathlin Island (Co. Antrim), Crossgar (Co. Down); Clonfert, Fahy, Clonbern (Co. Galway); Killorglin (Co. Kerry); Kilmeena (Co. Mayo); Rathcore & Rathmolyon (Co, Meath); and the Dublin city and county parishes of Clontarf, Naul, Sandyford, and Santry. Almost all of these appear to have registers earlier than 1880 in local custody. In addition, the parishes of St John's (Sligo town), Cappawhite (Co. Tipperary) and Waterford city have registers held locally which are fuller than those microfilmed by the Library." - John Grenham, excerpt from https://www.johngrenham.com/browse/retrieve_text.php?text_contentid=25
