Irish Church Records, edited by Dr. James G. Ryan, is a foundational guide for anyone researching Irish genealogy or local history through church archives. It provides a detailed overview of the records from Ireland’s eight major Christian denominations, outlining their historical development, the types of records kept (baptisms, marriages, burials), and—critically—where and how to access them.

The book walks you through:

  • The historical context behind each denomination’s record-keeping

  • The survival and availability of records after events like the 1922 Public Record Office fire

  • Strategies for locating hard-to-find parish registers across Ireland

Spanning 208 pages, this reference is ideal for both beginners and experienced researchers trying to navigate the complex patchwork of Irish religious archives.
