Civil registration in Ireland began in 1864 which, for many Americans, is just too late to provide direct assistance. Having said that, these records are a treasure trove and may be able to connect you with family members who remained in Ireland.
The website Irishgenealogy.ie allows you to access a variety of records. Births, marriages, and deaths are all available. For some of the records there is only an index, for others there are images.
Indexes:
Births 1864-1915
Marriages 1845-1940 (Catholic marriages from 1864)
Deaths 1864-1965
Images:
Births 1864-1915
Marriages 1882-1940
Deaths 1891-1965
In addition to the civil records, this website includes access to church records as well as lots of valuable information about researching your Irish ancestors and links to many sources that can help you in your quest.
