Enhanced GROI Indexes online July 3rd

Hi
Thanks Dermo. I think the new site is quite good and I have managed to find a couple of records from the 1950s which I could'nt find elsewhere (familysearch,ancestry.com) which are of interest to me .Its just that they d'ont have  a page and volume number and was wondering if the ID code was enough to get the certs in the GRO.

I will probably be in the GRO on Wednesday so if no one has reported back before then I will let you know how I fare with the general registration ID.  I have a couple of post-1958 records to get for which I only have the code from the new site.

Hi. Was in gro werburgh st today gave them a group id from the online system and got a cert back no problem .  They can accept either that or the vol/page. They just have not got around to updating forms or information leaflets etc.

Thank you for that, hope the Cert was joy to get.

Hi
Thanks for that- now I can plan my next trip to the GRO

I didn't get to the GRO until today. I had the same experience as Meath999 - group ID numbers not a problem, though I got the impression they are less convenient for the staff than the volume and page numbers.
One thing I discovered is that you can get 8 certs per day now instead of 5.  I'm not sure if this is well known.  It was news to me.

I am not surprised Dermo as any time i've been to Wereburgh St there is an average of 8 to 10 people there and i've often been handed my certs within 2 mins of handing in the docket.
Where as in Abbey St the place used be so full i was locked out and told come back much later or early next day.
They have'nt been really run off their feet since moving to Wereburgh St.

I haven't made it into Werburgh Street yet
Abbey Street was convenient for me on the Luas and I could do a trip during lunch hour!
Need time off work to get to Werburgh Street so back writing to Roscommon!

You don't need to go to Dublin to get Certs... I was born in Dublin, now living Ck on Shannon and was recently asked to produce long/full version of my Birth Cert. I told person I hadn't time to go to Dublin and was told I only needed to go to local office to get it. I had page/volume number and got Cert immediately.
