A Guide to Irish  Parish Registers
Brian Mitchell
Hardbound    volume  totaling
151
pages. Book  is in excellent condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This work tells you which Irish      parish registers exist (all denominations), their starting dates, and where      and how they can be located, and it links them to Griffith's Valuation of      Ireland, the great survey of property holders taken between 1848 and 1864.
The civil parish, rather than the church parish, was      the basic unit for the administration of records in Ireland. Most important      Irish records--parish records of birth, marriage, and death, for instance,      and Griffith's Valuation--are either organized along civil parish lines or,      as in the case of Catholic parish records, which are organized by diocese,      can be tied into civil parish records for further research.
In this book you'll find the location of churches of      all denominations, including Roman Catholic, as well as the earliest date of      their registers. In tabular form, in alphabetical order in each of the      thirty-two counties, is the name of the civil parish; the name of the Church      of Ireland parish (if different), and the earliest baptism entry in the      registers; the Roman Catholic parish and the earliest baptism or marriage      entry in the registers; the Presbyterian congregation and its earliest      baptism entries; and, if registers of dissenting churches are extant      (Quaker, Methodist, Congregationalist, Baptist, etc.), it gives the      beginning of their registers. It also provides map references to Mr.      Mitchell's
New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland
and to the maps accompanying the householders' index to
Griffith's Valuation
. This makes parish records and Griffith's Valuation      compatible, for they can be identified by the same administrative      division--the civil parish
