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!

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!

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.

Yesterday the Family search site added their indexed registrations for Ireland for 1845 to 1958.
Happy searching!!
