Can anyone help me with Irish Genealogy?
My Irish grandparents Robert Paget born 1886 and Kate Rohan born 1889 both born in Dublin, Ireland.
My Mum was one of their youngest children(9 of them)
My Mum, Mary Paget was born in May 1924 at 37, Cumberland St. North, Dublin.
I have seen the 1911 census where my grandparents were living at Summerhill, Mountjoy, Dublin.
It shows them with the first 2 of their children- Teresa born 1910, and Matthew in 1912.
Can anyone fill in anymore information as the Irish side of my Family Tree looks rather bare.
I am very proud of my Irish roots so any information would be gratefully received!
Thank you.
The first place I would start is GENUKI:Ireland as this will have a lot of useful links and background information like maps etc to help you work from what you already know

The problem with Irish records is that many were burnt in the 1920s when the Record Office was burnt during the uprisings so there are some huge blanks in the records as a result. An explanation of Irish registration and its history can be found at http://www.groireland.ie/history.htm .
The 1911 census for Dublin is online so you can check out Robert and Kate hopefully at
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/
There are also some Dublin records online at the Dublin Heritage website
http://www.dublinheritage.ie/
There is also a website that transcribes cemetery records that might be of use to you, but you would need to work out which cemetery they are most likely to have been buried in I would think

I have found some of my Irish ancestors details through the CMC website. You now have to register, although registration is free. They have alsorts of transcriptions and the work is ongoing to fingers crossed if they don’t have what you need right now they will do soon.

You might also get some parish records from searching on Familysearch but I find they’re really good for the late 18th and early 19th centuries and not so good for late 19th century onwards so you may need to do some more research before you can use this website
http://www.familysearch.org
Best of luck with your research! I’ve been told I probably need to go to the Record Office in Dublin if I want to get further with mine.

Slaves in the Family $5.86 Writer Edward Ball opens Slaves in the Family with an anecdote: “My father had a little joke that made light of our legacy as a family that had once owned slaves. ‘There are five things we don’t talk about in the Ball family,’ he would say. ‘Religion, sex, death, money and the Negroes.’” Ball himself seemed happy enough to avoid these touchy issues until an invitation to a family reunion in … |
