Irish BMD Indexes - NOW ON LINE!!
« on: Saturday 24 January 09 08:33 UTC (UK) »
At long last!

The Irish BMD Indexes, transcribed by many volunteers, are now on the LDS Record Search Pilot site at
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

Worth the wait!

Yes I've been checking this daily and found to my joy this morning they are there!!

A word of warning about birth registrations. I've been looking for my mother and her 8 siblings and there was a tendency cerrtainly back in the 1920s and 1930s to register the births quite a long time after the event (a year or more sometimes) so if you know a date of birth and think there is no record you need to widen the years you are looking at.

Good luck everyone in your searching.

Well that was fun! Smiley

I have found my grandmother's birth and marriage and various other events, but I still have not found the birth of my grandmother's half sister. She could have been registered with her mother's name, but I have no idea what that was! Undecided

Does anyone know if things will be changed when the site is 'up' properly and not still a pilot?
eg spouse's names for marriages
     mothers surname for births

The early birth indexes did not record the mother's surname- it was only later  that the mother's maiden name was added to the indexes and I can't see anywhere on the site that anything other than the information from the actual registers will be added to the site.

if you click on 'What is a Pilot' at the top of the page it reads:

"Record Search is still under development. This release is considered a PILOT. This means that at times Record Search will not be available while we add additional records and improve some features. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to receiving your feedback."

At least there are some deaths, which are not usually found in IGI.

Now I have found some deaths I have been looking for for YEARS, where is the best place to send for the certs?

I have usually written to the Dublin GRO, but on perusing the info available, I'm thinking I should be writing to Roscommon.

Can someone advise?

Kooky.

I know this is not strictly on topic, but others may find the answer useful. Undecided

I've noticed some gaps as well, but I believe it is a pretty good start.  Although they claim no images I have found some.
