The Irish Jewish Genealogical Society was formed in 1999 as a division of the Irish Jewish Museum headed by Stuart Rosenblatt P.C. He has single-handedly codified 29,500 individual records of Jewish Irish people who have lived or passed through Ireland.

The records on hand include:

• The Alien files where non-nationals during the 1914-1922 period had to register with the police. These include details of English families who came over for weddings etc. They contain details of location of birth, dates of birth, home addresses, occupations, children details with ages, spouse information and original signatures.
  
  
• Marriage details from 1844-2001 from Belfast, Cork, Dublin and the Dublin Progressive marriages.
  
  
• Yarzheit plaques, name changes, mailing lists from Londonderry, Limerick, Cork, Belfast, Dublin.
  
  
• Burial records for Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Limerick, and the Progressive Woodtown burials.

In general there is no charge for the provision of personal or family information. However, if a professional researcher is needed then there is a charge to cover time and cost.

The second link is to one of a number of Irish websites that give instructions on how you can request information from the gigantic computer database being put together by the Irish on their ancestors, which is being drawn from church records, cemetery records and family histories, in an attempt to replace census records that were destroyed in the early 1900s during the civil war in Ireland.  The third site covers not only Irish topics, but also other countries settled by the Celts, like Wales, Scotland, etc, and it also has links to more general history of the Celtic peoples.
