The Wicklow County Archives offers advice and guidance to those with Wicklow roots. The service was established in 1987 by Wicklow County Council. Since its foundation, our staff has computerised Wicklow's Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland parish registers, some of which date from the 17th century. Methodist and Presbyterian church records within the county have also been computerised. All of our parish records stop at 1900. Our baptisms, marriages and burial records are also available online at www.rootsireland.ie. (If you wish to contact the Archivist by email, please allow time for a reply as it is a very busy service).
Tuesday to Friday: 10am - 5pm (closed for lunch 1-2pm).
