Shane, Could I ask you for more help/advice.
Using LDS Irish BMD I'm going round in circles.
So I did as you said Search
Surname : Kehoe
then using filters on top left of screen,
By Place : Wexford
By Event : Birth
By Date : 1880 -1889
By first name : P

Results = 6, but most of these are Death entries!
I'm flummoxed, what am I doing wrong?

By Event : Birth
By Date : 1880 -1889
By first name : P

Results = 6, but most of these are Death entries!

Put in Patrick as first name and Kehoe as last name on search page and then use filters for date, place, event
66 results (it's a quirk of the Pilot site not your fault)

thanks, so using shanes link for irish BMD above,
1st page,
name: Patrick
surname Kehoe
= 894 hits
using filters :  Date, Place, Event    = 66 !!
thanks so much....
I don't know why but just now I tried using another link, and got rubbish...
newbie off to have a drink and calm down.

Nope,
it still lists all the death entries, none for Birth!
just gives birth year for those Death entries.
Whats wrong?

you probably have 3 pages of results... the interesting ones start on page 2.

This is the civil registration index-
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347

First & middle name = Patrick
Last name = Kehoe
Then click 'search' button (make sure set for exact & close match) = 894 hits

Then Place 'Wexford' = 517 hits
Then Date '1880-1889' = 76 hits
Then Event type 'birth' = 66 hits

Thank you, thank you, thank you,
bangs head on desk and pokes computer screen!
It's Monday!
of course there are more pages, I just didn't look that far ahead -  oh duh!

Just another question ....
when ordering certificates from Ire land (GRO?) what information do I give, is it the same as the GRO in UK.
i.e. Name, quarter of registration, age at death, Registration District, Vol, and page. or do I have to give all the information I've found from the LDS site, including  Film, image number etc.? estimated year of birth.?
I understand from other postings I must not say or hint that I've obtained the info from the LDS?
thanks,
Pauline

see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

the details the GRO require are the name, year/quarter, registration district, volume and page numbers. The other details are LDS internal reference numbers and not required.

also see  Introduction to Irish Records (includes notes on details included on BMD certs ....)
