Digitized images. Dublin, Ireland: E-Celtic, Limited. (c) 2014. This collection includes Catholic baptismal registers from 73 parishes in Ireland, with dates ranging from 1763 to 1912 (noninclusive; coverage will vary by parish). Children were typically baptized soon after they were born. The details found in baptismal registers vary but can include: name baptismal date father’s name mother’s name godparents’/sponsors’ names place Although the Church of Ireland was the established state church from 1536 to 1870, Ireland’s population remained overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. According to the 1861 census, almost 78 percent of the population was Catholic; by 1891, this had risen to 89 percent. This fact makes Catholic parish registers, where available, particularly valuable sources for Irish family history, both before and after civil registration began in 1864. Registers from the following parishes are included in this collection: Addergoole Allen Annacarty Armagh Aughrim Backs Ballina (Ardnaree) Ballina (Kilmoremoy) Ballinakill Ballon and Rathoe Ballyadams Ballybricken Ballyconneely Ballyfin Baltinglass Bangor Erris Belmullet Beragh Caherlistrane (Donaghpatrick and Kilcooney) Canice's (Finglas and St Margaret) Cappawhite Carlingford Carlingford and Omeath Carnaross Castlebar Castleconnor Claddaghduff (Omey and Ballindoon) Clifden Coalisland Cooley Crossmolina Darver Donaghmore Easkey Emly Golden Golden and Kilpack Inishboffin Kilcloon Kilcommon Erris Kilcurry Kilcurry (Bridgeacrin) Kilcurry (Faughart) Kilglass Kill Killala Killursa Kilmacshalgan Knockmore and Rathduff Lackagh Lacken Louisburgh Louisburgh (Kilgeever) Louth Magherafelt Malahide Moneymore Mountrath Moy Moy (Clonfeacle) Mullingar Naas Portlaoise (Maryborough) Rathangan Rathvilly Skreen and Dromard Summerhill Termonmaguirc Tinryland Tourlestrane Tourlestrane (Kilmactigue) Tullow Westland Row), Sligo, Tourlestrane, 1857-1864. 1860, p 47, img 86, no. 623 (Reliability: 3).
