Irish birth, marriage and death indexes online

Have you taken a look at the new FamilySearch Pilot website yet? It is well worth checking regularly as millions of records are progressively being added to this free site. In particular, the 23 million birth, marriage and death records for Ireland will be of great interest to many family historians. These records cover Protestant marriages 1845-1958 and marriages for other denominations plus births and deaths 1864-1958 for the whole of Ireland.

Browse what’s currently available on the site by clicking on the relevant section on the world map. There are no records from Australia yet but there is a large collection of material from the United States and a growing collection of records from Europe including Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and England.
