The following surviving early records for Barr parish church have been microfilmed by the staff of PRONI, Belfast, where they may be consulted:
Baptisms, 1880-1982; Marriages, 1845-1934, Burials, 1885-1921; PRONI Ref. MIC1/223
The condition of the original marriage records, a degree of difficulty in discerning the handwriting and quality of filming make transcription challenging and wherever possible the Kilskeery, Donacavey and Dromore tithe applotment books and Griffiths Valuation (c1860) have been consulted in an attempt to confirm families and townland addresses.
