When you find the civil parish of origin for your Irish
ancestors then one of your checklist items should be to find out if a parish
history has been written. The quality of such publications ranges from the
forensically brilliant to the superficially glossy and everything in between.
Regardless, if at all possible, it should be consulted as the type of information
they contain might concern your ancestors and not be found elsewhere. For
example, I recently had reason to read Forkhill Protestants and Forkhill Catholics, 1787-1858, a truly outstanding
publication about Forkhill Civil Parish in County Armagh.
That important point is a somewhat tenuous segue into the
recent announcement by Ireland XO of a new website feature called Chronicles. Chronicles allows those with relevant
information to add people, buildings and events associated with a particular
civil parish. Their helpful video explains what it is all about and upon
viewing, it struck me that it has the potential to become the 21st century parish
history.
