151 pp. Here is a book that delivers more than it promises! It not only tells you which Irish parish registers exist (all denominations), what their starting dates are, and where or how they can be located, but it links the parish registers to Griffith's Valuation of Ireland, the great survey of property holders taken between 1848 and 1864. Historically, the civil parish -- as opposed to the church parish -- was the basic unit for the administration of records in Ireland. Most important Irish records -- parish records of birth, marriage, and death, for instance, and Griffith's Valuation -- are either organized along civil parish lines or, as in the case of Catholic parish records, which are organized by dioces, can be tied into civil parish records for further research. This book locates churches of all denominations, including Romasn Catholic, within their civil parish and gives the earliest commencement date of their registers. In tabular form, in alphabetical order within each of the thiry-two counties, it gives the name of the civil parish; the name of the Church of Ireland parish (if different) and the earlist baptism entry in the registers; the Roman Catholic parish and the earliest baptism or marriage entry in the registers; the Presbyterian congregation and the earliest baptism entries; and, if registers of dissenting churches are extant (Quaker, Medhodist, Congregationalist, Baptist, etc), it gives the commencement date of their registers as well. In addition, it provides map references to Mr. Mitchell's A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland and to the maps accompanying the householders' index to Griffith's Valuation. This makes parish records and the Griffith's Valuation compatible, as they can both now be identified by the same administrative division -- the civil parish.
