RECORDS IRELAND
Hilda McGauley, M.Sc.
Genealogist and Record Agent based in Dublin, Ireland, provides a professional genealogical record searching service and an on-line ordering facility. Birth records, birth certificate, marriage records, death records, 1901 Census, 1911 Census, Griffith's Primary Valuation, Tithe Applotment Books, Valuation Office Revision Books and Wills are among the records searched.
My background is in Science, however, genealogy has been a lifelong interest and I eventually came to work, professionally, in genealogy seven years ago. Based in Dublin, I have access to all repositories and have developed a wide experience in all aspects of genealogical research. By restricting my activities to the fairly narrow field of record searching I am able to offer you a personal, efficient and rapid service.
Sometimes it's best to begin your search with a marriage records search for your ancestors in Ireland. If this is successful it may lead to searching for other records such as birth records, census records, land records and wills. However, if your ancestor left Ireland before he/she married it may be best to begin your search with a birth records search.
Because of the volume of requests from people who are applying for Irish citizenship, a birth records search and a birth certificate package has been put together. The birth record of their ancestor born in Ireland will be searched and, if the search is successful, the birth certificate (a certified copy of the record) will be forwarded to them.

On-Line Ordering Service
This is an opportunity for you to direct your own genealogical research by ordering specific record searches. It is also a cost effective way of finding information on your ancestors and filling in gaps in your family history.
It is in your own interest to be sure of the information you provide in your request. Please understand that every effort is made to locate the information for you but the results depend on the accuracy of your input and on the content of the records.
This on-line ordering facility is a document search service. This means that you pay for a search of a specific document. If that record is found a copy will be forwarded to you at no extra cost. Please understand that some searches are not successful. This may be because the record is just not there. In this case the RESULT of the search will be forwarded to you by e-mail.
Documents, if found, are supplied by e-mail, either as a text extract or a scanned image. In the case of a scanned image, the original photocopy will also be forwarded by regular mail.
