Project Information

Mission

This is an ongoing project to ensure that all (deceased) Church of Ireland Clergy are on Wikitree.

• Connected to their family
• Connected to the Wikitree global tree, if possible
• With profiles that have biographical, family, and clerical information
• Well sourced

Diocesan Succession Lists

• These are the current Church of Ireland Dioceses.
• The succession lists show Clergy who held Cathedral positions and include the historic dioceses.

	Diocese		Diocese		Diocese
	Armagh		Cashel and Ossory		Clogher
	Connor		Cork, Cloyne and Ross		Derry and Raphoe
	Down and Dromore		Dublin and Glendalough		Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh
	Meath and Kildare		Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe		Select the name of the Diocese to see the succession list for that diocese.

Church of Ireland Clergy on Wikitree

This category Church of Ireland Priests shows all Church of Ireland Clergy who have been identified and are now on Wikitree.

Note: Only Wikitree profiles with the category [[Category:Church of Ireland Priests]] will appear.

Process

1. Identify existing Wikitree profile or add new profile
2. Add category "Category:Church of Ireland Priests" and any other appropriate ones e.g. "Category: Alumni of Trinity College, Dublin"
3. Add Image Symbol
4. Add biography, family, and clerical information
5. Connect to family and any spouse
6. If possible, connect to Wikitree global tree. This may require adding additional profiles.
7. Add (deceased) children if they are Clergy or married to Clergy.
8. If they have Cathedral appointments, update the appropriate Diocesan succession list.
