Note that VERY FEW if any of these have records on line. In some cases you can write in (with a fee) to have information researched; in others, you would have to go to the actual building (in Ireland) to get the information.

If you have or know of any ELECTRONIC versions of this information, let me know! I'll post any information I have of on-line resources.

Cork Family Heritage Centres computerizing parish records
Provides search service for a fee

Cork sources for genealogy
notes on what's available and where to find it (in Real Life)

Mallow Archaeological & Historical Society

National Archives - Northeast Regional Records Administration
in Waltham, MA for Naturalization records and passenger lists for New England states. FANTASTIC building to go lose yourself for weeks. Plan your vacation around visiting one of their microfiche machines.
