To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, MyHeritage is offering free access to 145 million Irish historical records until March 18.
These collections include birth, marriage, and death records, parish registers, newspapers, passenger lists, and court records that document everyday life in Ireland.
Over the past year, MyHeritage has greatly expanded its Irish collections, adding tens of millions of new records.
One of the most recent additions this year is the Ireland, Petty Sessions Court Registers, 1828–1926, a collection containing more than 23 million records. Petty Sessions courts handled minor civil and criminal cases across Ireland. The registers occasionally mention local political activists and community figures, offering insight into social and political tenions of the time.
