Hello Kirstin,

Thank you for writing on the Community Forum! 😄

First of all, there are some resources on the Tourism Ireland website that may be of help.

The best start is with a good paper trail of birth, marriage, and death certificates back as far as possible. 📜

Before 1864 records were kept in the form of church and parish records; while some of these have regrettably been lost over the years, all the surviving records have been sorted into county based genealogical centers.

In 1864 civil registration was introduced in Ireland, which is when we started seeing the formal registration of births, marriages, adoptions and deaths. These records have been kept at the General Register Office of Ireland (GRO), through the Irish Genealogy website, to this day.

The Surname Website by John Grenham could possibly help you find some more information and Find My Past has a lovely website that may be of help too.

I hope this information will be helpful!

Have a great day. ☘️

I would recommend taking a look at 'GRONI online', https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/go-groni-online, the online database of General Register Office of Northern Ireland which contains for Northern Ireland all civil birth registers from 1864 to 1922, marriages from 1845 to 1947 and deaths from 1864 to 1972.

The 'free search' option with 'Surname' Flavelle and 'Year from' 1920 returns 1 birth, 1 death and 3 marriages, and with Flavell, 3 births, 1 death and 2 marriages..

If you wish to view the full details of these entries you would need to 'register an account'.

Thanks so much for chiming in, Brian! Your knowledge of genealogy is truly invaluable.I hope Kristin sees this and finds a match in the GRONI archives.

Fingers crossed! 

Cheers,
Antoine
