Notes: Roman Catholic records up to 1880/1 link to the National Library of Ireland's images; after that date, the Clare Genealogy records are transcription-only and not currently available elsewhere online. In the case of Civil registration records, these transcriptions of local civil birth registers run to 1949 – nearly 30 years later than those available at IrishGenealogy.ie, while the transcriptions of local civil death registers include 1864-1870, a period indexed-only at IrishGenealogy.ie.
