This is a summary of the parish records CD. Hope this helps narrow down the search The 435,008 records in this database come from cemetery tombstone transcriptions and similar sources in the counties of Antrim, Down, and Louth around 1538 to 1837. Parish records like these cemetery records can provide the best source of vital record information in the centuries before civil registration. Some of the records may be in Latin or even a local dialect depending on location. The spelling is archaic, and is transcribed as it was written. There are many spelling inconsistencies and non-standard grammar. Phonetic spelling is often used. This database may not include all dates and records for each cemetery, parish, or location. Use caution in assuming that any database is a complete set of records-even for the counties and time period listed. Due to the legibility of the original sources and subsequent transcriptions, there may be gaps in the records, including partial sentences, cut-off words, and other omissions. Thanks, Debbie
