Official Records

A number of sets of manuscripts are direct products of the official functions of the Office, and may be termed official records. On the heraldic side, the principal records are;
  • the Visitations (GO 47- 49),
  • the Funeral Entries (GO 64 - 79),
  • the official grants and confirmations of arms (GO 103 - 111g),
  • and the Registered Pedigrees (GO 156 - 182).


In addition to these, four other manuscript groups reflect duties which Ulster's Office acquired over the centuries. These are the
  • Lords Entries (GO 183-188),
  • Royal Warrants for Changes of Name, (GO 26 & 149 154A),
  • Baronets Records (GO 112 - 4),
  • and Gaelic Chieftains (GO 610 & 627).
