Registers of the French Church of Portarlington 1694-1816

Another excellent resource for family historians with Huguenots in their family tree, the Registers of the French Church of Portarlington have just gone live on findmypast.ie. They feature over 1500 names from one of Europe’s most interesting Huguenot settlements. Beginning as a small settlement Portarlington grew to what was for all intents and purposes a French village in Ireland boasting sixteen schools and becoming a centre for education in Ireland.
