Monaghan RC Records - Coming on line

[HugoBeauchamp]

This notice regarding an update to the Digitisation project at Irish Genealogy http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html appeared in a number of places last week.

"Thank you for your enquiry

The current position in relation to the addition of new records is:

Cork- Work has just been completed on the remaining records from Cork &
Ross Roman Catholic records except for further records from Cork City which
have been completed by Cork County Library.

Dublin - Work is ongoing in completing the remaining Dublin City Roman
Catholic records, a completion date of May 2011 is now likely for these.

Monaghan- Work is ongoing for a set of Roman Catholic records for the
county.  These are due for completion in the next few weeks.

Overall-  No firm date has been set for the addition of further records
yet, but we will provide a further update on the website soon.  Apologies
for the delay in the addition of this extra data to the website."

NB. The Irish Genealogy site hasn't been updated yet

Interesting that it's happening at the same time as this:

Wonder if there's any connection.  Have records just been made available or something like that?

Ah, but what religion?  They don't say!

Thanks Shane.

Strange thing is they both list Carrickmacross and Magheross when Carrickmacross is a Catholic parish within the civil parish of Magheross and Magheross would normally refer to the C of I parish.

Yes, was wondering about a couple of them too.

These records cover the parishes of:
Carrickmacross    Donaghmoyne    Drummully-Currin
Ematris              Errigal Truagh    Inishkeen
Magheross          Monaghan        Tydavnet

rather than

These records cover the R.C. parishes of:
Carrickmacross    Donaghmoyne    Drummully-Currin
Ematris              Errigal Truagh    Inishkeen
Magheross          Monaghan        Tydavnet


or the availability of the first *32,000 R.C. baptism records for County Monaghan*. 


As a stand-alone post it does look confusing as Religion isn't mentioned

but having since read http://monaghan.rootsireland.ie/generic.php?filename=sources.tpl&selectedMenu=sources it clears it up.

In view of the fact that RootsIreland/IFHF have now uploaded some of the Co Monaghan records and Irish Genealogy announced 3 weeks ago that they are also doing the same; I wonder, is there now competition between these two organisations over the uploading of this county's Parish Records?

Or is there something that we don't know?
