Chef's Recommendations

The City of Dublin has had many boundaries, church and civil, over its 1000 year plus history that have separated it administratively from the county of the same name.  This means that some online resources may include the city whilst others will exclude it e.g. there is no IFHF centre that covers the city but there are 2 county centres (see RootsIreland links to the left.)

The County Dublin RC parishes map does not show the parish boundaries within the city but if you click on "Dublin City" on the map, you will be taken to a comprehensive list of available records

The most important online resource for baptisms, marriages and burials is the free Irish Genealogy site, but do check the source lists carefully.  Oddly there appear to be 7 Church of Ireland parishes named for saints with long histories but no place on the city parish map - can anyone enlighten me?  Perhaps this book might solve the mystery - "An Historical Guide to Ancient and Modern Dublin: Illustrated by Engravings etc." (George Newnham Wright, 1821)

John Grenham was the original creator of some niche resources that were previously published by Dublin City Library & Archive under their Dublin Heritage website.  That site has been taken down pending redevelopment, so in the meantime, John has made available some of the transcribed data on his own website at DCLA Databases.  Be sure to read up on the background to the lists to understand what you are searching.  There are names to search for,
  • Dublin: Voters 1899, 1908-1915
  • Dublin Freemen 1461 to 1491 & 1564 to 1774
  • Cemeteries Burial Registers (Clontarf, Drimnagh & Finglas only)
There is also the most splendid Dublin Graveyards Directory accessible via a lovely map full of pinned locations.  I do love a pinned map!

I think that the archives for the county of Dublin as a whole are actually held at the National Archives in Dublin but I need to confirm this, unless anyone can help me out?

I came across a good volunteer site for Stillorgan, Co. Dublin that has some nice parish register transcripts as well as memorial inscriptions.  There is also some information about the "big houses" in the area and their families.

The Royal Irish Academy's Historic Towns Atlas has 3 editions for the capital city, split by time period;
  • Dublin up to 1610
  • Dublin 1610-1756
  • Dublin 1756-1847

There is quite a nicely mapped and photographed resource for searching the Deansgrange and Shanganagh burial grounds.
