Dublin Genealogy Help

[pholahan]

I will be in Dublin for a few days and will be doing some family research while there. I have been working on my family history for many years and, like many of Irish descent, have run into many brick walls. I am planning visits to the National Library and National Archives. Are there any other places that would be of help in my search? I'm specifically trying to locate birth/baptism records and marriage records of ancestors. I seem to be at a dead end as far as online resources go and would like to know if any of these facilities offer guidance in helping break through brick walls. Thank you

Might be a good idea to have this thread moved to the Ireland General board where the experts can maybe help you.

You can ask the moderator to move your thread to that board by using the ‘Report to Moderator’ function.

Good luck to you, pholahan. I think you will need it as the National Archives of Ireland was burnt to the ground by the IRA in 1922. What records that are available are on-line -

.....the National Archives of Ireland was burnt to the ground by the IRA in 1922. .

Errrhhh - the NAI did not exist in 1922.

..the devastating destruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland, part of the Four Courts Complex, which housed seven centuries of Ireland’s historical record.

There's the GRO in Werburgh St for BMDs that aren't online.

Yah, well, what ever they called it in those days, it was still burnt down wasn't it?
