Index to Civil Registration of Births

Civil Registration in Ireland for all Births began in January 1864. Indexes are arranged by year, and list the name of the child, the Poor Law Union where the birth was registered, and the volume and page of the registration record. All variations of spellings have been checked in the indexes. Since some Poor Law Unions overlap with other counties, the birth in the index may have occurred outside of Co. Carlow, but there is no way to tell this from the index. It may be possible to cross-check some of these births with the LDS on-line IGI records. With the information listed in the index, microfilms can be ordered from the LDS Family History Library which contain copies of the Registration Records, and which will include the full date, town or townland, parents names and father's occupation. The LDS Family History Library holds films of Civil Registration indexes through 1958 and films of Civil Registration birth records through 1880, and then from the first quarter of 1901 through the first quarter of 1955. These index references can be also used to order records from the General Records Office in Dublin.
