Ireland Military Records Index

Military records are essential for family history research, offering insights into ancestors who served in the armed forces. These records typically include personal details like name, birth date, and next of kin information, as well as service history, rank, and medical records.

In Ireland, unique resources such as the Military Archives hold records from 1922 onwards, while British Army records cover earlier service. The Military Service Pensions Collection provides details about individuals involved in the revolutionary period (1916-1923).

Accessing these records can confirm family relationships and fill gaps in your family tree, making them invaluable for understanding your heritage.

Birth records can help verify information found in military records and establish familial connections, especially when accessing personnel files that require proof of relationship.
