Am forwarding this very useful information on Irish Civil Registration: See Query below ----- Original Message ----- From: <enalibof@netscape.net> To: <IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 12:02 PM Subject: RE: [IRELAND] John Bergin and daughters Mary and Annie Have you searched the Civil and church records for marriages and births? Registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845 in Ireland. Registration of births, marriages and deaths, regardless of religion, began January 1, 1864. Certificates for births, marriages and deaths for all of Ireland until 1922 and for the Republic since 1922 are housed in Dublin. Belfast has the records for Northern Ireland from 1922 to present in addition to the all Ireland records from 1864-1922.
