Limerick Genealogy

As an alternative option to engaging our professional commission-based research service, Limerick Genealogy now also offers an ONLINE RECORD SEARCH SYSTEM for those who wish to carry out their own searches. In addition to providing a professional commission based research service, Limerick Genealogy now also offers an ONLINE RECORD SEARCH SYSTEM at: www.rootsireland.ie/limerick

Through this online index of records you can search the church and civil records and 1901 Census returns of Limerick city and county for your ancestors. The details of a record can then be obtained on a pay per view basis. Over one million transcribed records of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials for Limerick city and county are currently online and we aim to add more records in the coming year.

This service is part of the Irish Genealogical Online Record Search System (ORS), an all-Ireland initiative organised by the Irish Family History Foundation. The aim of the project is to create a countrywide searchable database of genealogical records and it contains the largest collection of Irish parish records searchable online.

Please note however that this service should not be regarded as a substitute for commissioning an experienced and trained Limerick-based researcher who is aware of the limitations of records and possible errors, someone who can check original records as part of the research and who is familiar with the geography and history of Limerick. From the Online Record Search you may find that, based on the information available to you, there too many possibilities and in this situation we would recommend that you contact us.
