This collection represents the largest collection of Irish Catholic baptism, marriage, and death records in the world.  It includes records for Catholic parishes across the whole of the island of Ireland, both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (as they’re known today).  Approximately 94% (over 1,000) of Catholic parishes are included in this collection, though not all records from these parishes may be available.  The majority of records are from 1800 to 1880.  The population of Ireland was overwhelmingly Roman Catholic during this time period, rising to 89% according to the 1891 census.
