Type of information needed for a successful search in Ireland.

It is important for a successful search in Ireland that as much information as is known on the ancestor and his family is given.
Any or all of the following details will help:

• Name................ - surname and personal names of ancestor and known relatives;
• Address........... - county, town, parish, townland or street;
• Dates................ - of birth, marriage, death (or approx.);
• Occupation..... - the trade, profession etc.;
• Religion........... - the religion of ancestor. This is important;
• Emigrants....... - dates and reason for emigration.

Information on the above may be obtained from within the family e.g. family bibles; letters; even postmarks; stories; or from records such as ship's passenger lists; immigration and naturalisation papers; birth, death and marriage entries in immigrant country; gravestones; census records etc..
