1.	Griffith's Valuation
	The Griffith's Primary Valuation was the first full-scale valuation of property in Ireland. It was overseen by Richard Griffith and published between 1847 and 1864. It is one of the most important surviving 19th century genealogical sources. On this site you may search by Family Name or Place name.
2.	O’Kief, Coshe Mang, Slieve Lougher, and Upper Blackwater in Ireland
	This will download a PDF file containing a good general introduction to the sixteen-volume collection of works of the same title edited by Dr. Albert Eugene Casey. These volumes contain a vast amount of primary Irish resources of the West Cork and East Kerry area and have more than 3,000,000 individual Irish personal names in the indexes. If you use these records you are likely to find records from a treasure trove of genealogical resources, such as baptisms and marriages (mostly Roman Catholic, but also Church of Ireland and Quaker), family histories, pedigrees, newspaper abstracts, rental lists and estate ledgers, indexes to wills, extracts from Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith’s Primary Valuation, Elizabethan fiants, census fragments, tombstone inscriptions and even excerpts from the Annals of the Four Masters. How can you access these volumes? The State Library of New South Wales has a full set of the books in the overseas records section of the Family History room. Also, the Society of Australian Genealogists has a near full set (their catalogue indicates volumes 1, 2 and 5 are missing). Also, the LDS Family History Library has microfilmed the set up to volume 14 as films 823801-823809. You should be able to order these through the local LDS Research Centres.
3.	Census of Ireland 1911
	This site has the full Irish Census of 1911 and it may be searched for free. It holds the household returns and ancillary records for the censuses of Ireland of 1911 from the National Archives of Ireland.
4.	Irish Genealogy
	This site is a good start to tracing Irish family history and has a small but growing database of searchable church records of Dublin and Kerry Dioceses. Work has commenced to complete the computerisation of the remaining available records for Dublin and Kerry and the remaining records for County Carlow. Records from the Diocese of Cork and Ross which encompasses Cork City and all of the parishes in West Cork will be added next. It is intended to have these elements of the project completed and available online by the mid-2010.
5.	Irish Family History Foundation
	This site is part of the Irish Genealogical Online Record Search System (ORS), an all Ireland initiative organised by the Irish Family History Foundation. This is the co-ordinating body for a network of government approved genealogical research centres in the Republic of Ireland (Eire) and in Northern Ireland which have computerised almost 40 million Irish Ancestral records, primarily Church births (baptisms), marriages and deaths. It contains the largest collection of Parish records for the island of Ireland that are searchable online. Search for your ancestor across all counties and research centres or select a particular centre from the map. The indexes are free to search however, you have to pay to view the original records.
