Northern Ireland
Although there are county pages for the 6 counties of the province of Ulster that became Northern Ireland after 1921 i.e. Armagh, Antrim, (London)Derry, Down, Monaghan & Tyrone, here are some useful shortcuts to online resources available today for all of this part of Ireland too.
GRONI The General Register Office of Northern Ireland. You can search for Births (more than 100 years ago), Marriages (over 75 years ago) and Deaths (over 50 years ago)
PRONI The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. There are a number of valuable record sets that have been published online from this archive, including Will Calendars, Griffiths Valuation Revision Books. Query the catalogue with reference CR1* and you will see 4000+ items relating to Church of Ireland parish records that they hold.
Townland Maps for Northern Ireland. (Please note this is now an archived web page - not sure why they dropped it from the new PRONI site in 2016?)
Placenames Northern Ireland - this is quite an academic website focusing on how language and history have particularly shaped the landscape of Northern Ireland's land units. A nice simple search facility and active map to zoom in on that also shows baronies within counties, parishes within baronies and townlands within parishes. There are also lists of different historical forms of placenames in chronological order, many of which are in the Irish language. This should prove particularly useful on trying to resolve various different spellings of the same place that you might come across and have to account for when searching.
