Until 1922, when the Republic of Ireland was created and six of the nine counties forming the province of Ulster (Antrim, Armagh, Londonderry, Down, and Tyrone) voted to remain part of the United Kingdom, the island of Ireland was a single country, and one under the rule of England for much of it's history. As a result, many records pertaining to Ireland are to be found in English repositories, and many others were destroyed during the Civil War.
