The information in respect of each County is detailed as follows :
Principal surnames
The principal surnames for each county is listed, they are in order of the numerical strength in which they occur. The figure after the surname is the number of entries in the birth index for 1890.
The estimated number of persons of each surname can be ascertained by multiplying the figure by the average birth rate, which for that year was 1 in 44.8 persons.
Although Murphy� is the most numerous surname in the country at large, it does not occupy the leading position in many of the counties. In Leinster in the counties of Wexford and Carlow Murphy� is first.
In the counties of Dublin. Louth and Wicklow. Byrne� is first, whereas in Kildare and Offaly Kelly� is first.
In Longford and Meath, Reilly� is first, in Kilkenny, Brennan, in Laois Dunne�, and in Westmeath Lynch�.
In Munster, Sullivan� is the predominant surname in Cork and Kerry, followed in Cork by Murphy�. Ryan� heads the list in Limerick and Tipperary, while McMahon� is the leading surname in Clare, and Power� in Waterford.
In Ulster Murphy� is the first surname in Armagh only. In Antrim Smith� is first, in Cavan, Reilly�, in Donegal, Gallagher�, in Down Thompson�, in Fermanagh Maguire�, in Derry, Doherty�, in Monaghan, Duffy�, and in Tyrone Quinn�.
In Connacht, Kelly� takes precedence in Galway, Roscommon, and Leitrim (along with Reynolds), Murphy does not occupy the principal position in any county. Walsh is first in Mayo, and Brennan in Sligo.
Registrar of Birth, Marriages and DeathsSome counties have two centres for civil registration. In the North each District Council has a centre, however many records have been removed to the Public Records Office in Belfast.
The arrangements as to access to the records varies.
Local repositories
There are many repositories of records at local level. These are both public and private libraries, to which access may be arranged. These may be classified as follows :
Public Libraries
Most counties have a principle library in which is housed a good historical and genealogical collection for that county. In some cases such collection are not in a public library but can be found in the county library headquarters, to which access can be arranged.
The position is complicated in the North as the Counties have been abolished and the library function has been taken over by the Education and Library Boards, nevertheless a major public library is listed for each of the former counties.
University Libraries
There are nine universities in Ireland with excellent libraries. The study of Irish history in the universities ensures that there is much genealogical material. The copyright legislation in both Ireland and Britain, has meant that university libraries have accumulated much stock at no great cost to themselves.
Denominational Libraries
All the religious denominations have their own libraries, which are not confined to theological matters, but include historical and genealogical material.
Heritage centre
Heritage Centre's tare been established throughout the country. The work that is been carried out by such centres is varied. The parish registers, gravestone inscriptions, poor law records, shipping records etc. are being indexed on computer, the work been carried out under youth employment schemes (F.A.S.).
Irish Genealogical Project (IGP)
The IGP is a country wide project to computerise genealogical sources, much of the work in the South has been carried out by F.A.S. trainees. The public are not allowed access to the material and are required to pay for research to be carried out on their behalf. The whole project is an ill conceived idea that will make little contribution to genealogical research in Ireland.
Historical Journals
There are many important historical societies throughout the country, which publish journals, or periodicals annually. These societies encourage research of a archaeological, historical, or genealogical nature. Some of these publications, being of a diocesan nature are not confined within one county boundary.
The following journals are national publications :
Analecta Hibernica, Journal of the Irish Manuscripts Commission.
Archivium Hibernicum, published by the Catholic Records Society of Ireland.
Familia : Journal of the Ulster Genealogical Historical Guild
Irish Ancestor
Irish Genealogist, published by Irish Genealogical Society (London).
Irish Historical Studies, published jointly by the Irish Historical Society and the Ulster Society for Irish Historical Studies.
Irish Sword, published by the Military History Society of Ireland.
Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland.
Studies.
Ulster Local Studies, Journal of the Federation for Ulster Local Studies.
Newspapers
Because of the practise of recording birth, marriage and deaths in newspapers, they are a good genealogical source. Many older editions of newspapers can be found in the principle repositories. If a person has no present day connection with the area that an ancestor came from it is a good idea to write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper and invite possible relatives to get in contact.
