RC Baptismal Index from about 1825 up till 1864.
16,700 entries have been added to the members’ area of our web-site. ‘Records’ then ‘ Assorted records’ scroll down to find ‘RC records at NLI’. These include most of the Parish Groups in the Causeway Coast and Glens area. Some of these are indexed elsewhere, but don’t seem to be complete. The Index includes the date of Baptism, Forename, Surname, Father’s Forename and the Mother’s Surname and Forename. In some cases it is not clear whether the mother had the same maiden name as her husband so be careful. The writing is difficult and spelling variations very wide, so you need to use your imagination when searching. Some Mc names are Mac and others Ma even for the same family. The Index also includes the Parish, film and page number on the National Library of Ireland web-site where you can see the full entry. The entries are not always in date order which makes a search even more difficult.
