Irish Registry of Deeds Index Project

The volunteers of the Irish Registry of Deeds Index Project have been hard at work on the project over the past few months, greatly expanding the work already done.

The purpose of this project is to provide finding aids for the records held at the Registry of Deeds in Dublin. There are three sets of indexes produced by the project:

  • The main index is building a name index for the memorial transcription books held at the Registry of Deeds
  • The grantors index consists of transcriptions of the Registry of Deeds' grantors indexes
  • The townland index consists of transcriptions of the Registry of Deeds' townland indexes

Each of these index databases can be searched on a number of fields. None, of course, is complete. Each has those index entries contributed by the project volunteers.

Over the past year the Index has continued to grow, with the table above showing the current number of index entries.  All the Indexes are free to search
