Registry of Deeds Index Project

Posted: 30 Apr 2008 5:26AM GMT
Classification: Query
The project has now published nearly 13,000 index records from just under 2,000 deeds.

Any one who has in interest in Irish genealogy before 1850 should see if the index has something for them. There is free access to the index at the website below.

The registry of Deeds is a very important source for genealogical information in Ireland, particularly in the 18th century. There are limited indexes to the records by:
* grantees of the deeds, and
* Townlands

These indexes are very limited and a fuller index would be most useful.

To make the records more accessible, noting that they are available on micro film through the Mormon Family History Library system, I have initiated a project to index all the memorial volumes. I am calling for volunteers to assist with the project.

Volunteers can assist by indexing parts of volumes that they may have obtained lo look at a particular memorial of interest to them. How to assist the project is set out on the home page of the project.

Any assistance is most welcome.

Regards

Nick
