Indeed, the pedigree-hunter will be more than surprised at the number of deeds under each name which the copious indexes display, and as a separate index is issued (for each letter of the alphabet) for every few years, a long time might be profitably spent in the Search Room of the Registry of Deeds, and each successive visit there be increasingly beneficial. Therefore the searcher in Ireland must not forget to devote his attention to the Registry of Deeds, King’s Inn, Dublin. Nor should he fail to visit Trinity College, where he can peruse _Matriculation Entries_, which supply the father’s name and other particulars, to his heart’s content. No fees are charged for such investigations. And if the inquiries he wishes to make relate to early times, he may find there also _pedigrees_ of value, for fairly early pedigrees of Anglo-Irish families, as well as other similar documents of interest and importance, are preserved in T. C. D. At the Castle, Dublin, he can visit the _College of Arms_, Ulster’s Office, which, of course contains a vast store of genealogical and armorial information. The Betham MSS. are among the most important of such documents stored there. But pedigree-hunters are not admitted far into these hallowed precincts; indeed, they are seldom now allowed to make personal searches, as officials undertake the desired investigations for stated fees. The searcher may derive considerable benefit from visits to the principal Dublin libraries. The _National Library_ contains the published works already recommended, and has a most valuable stock of newspapers, some of which date from far back in the eighteenth century. Besides this, the indexes will show several out-of-print pamphlets and other papers of interest to the genealogist. _Trinity College Library_ is of world-wide renown, being one of the five British libraries to which a copy of every published book must be sent. It possesses certain valuable illuminated MS. treasures relating to early Irish history and ancient Irish families. Some noticeable Irish wills are also here deposited. The library, as such, is not open to the public; special permission _may_, however, be given to read there, if approved by the authorities. At _Christ Church Cathedral_ a certain number of ancient deeds and other documents have been preserved; particulars as to these can be found in the _Reports_ of the Deputy-Keeper. These are the principal places in the Irish metropolis where genealogical information can be obtained, and some of them may be found by the searcher to be genuine treasure-houses. This is especially the case with the Irish Record Office, which, as we have seen, preserves most valuable documents of all descriptions. But if any desirable _Parochial Registers_ are not procurable there, application should be made to the rectors of the parishes in question.
