National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers MICROFILMS This listing of Church of Ireland parochial registers covers all those parishes for which microfilms of registers (then kept in original custody) exist. In many instances the original parochial registers may now be with the Representative Church Body Library in Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14 – http://www.ireland.anglican.org/. Filming was carried out in the 1950s and again in the 1980s by staff of the Public Record Office of Ireland. This systematic programme of microfilming Church of Ireland registers was undertaken to make parochial registers more accessible to the general research public. The most comprehensive filming was undertaken in the eastern part of the country. In the Reading Room of the National Archives there is a card index detailing all filmed parish registers and records detailing nature of record, covering dates and acquisition number (this covers the 1950s filming only). For the 1980s filming there are bound finding aids for the Diocese of Dublin, Ferns, Kildare and Meath in the Reading Room. These films cover parish registers as well as other classes of material found in registers. However, more modern records were not covered by the filming projects. The cut-off date of the films has always been c.1870 (ie the Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland) as records post-1870 are not covered by the Public Record Office of Ireland or National Archives of Ireland legislation though there are some instances of filming carrying on beyond 1870. The Microfilm List included here is a guide to microfilm reference numbers only and is no guide to content. No microfilming has been undertaken by the National Archives of Ireland since the 1980s.
