IRISH BMDs 1864-1958

[Kate B]

For all those waiting for Irish brick walls to come tumbling down, an update.......(I've also posted this on the Ireland General Board)

Their website shows that the Irish BMDs are a “completed” project, so I (again!) contacted LDS to ask when they would be made available on FamilySearch.  This morning’s reply is:

Dear Patron,
Thank you for contacting FamilySearch Indexing Support.

In answer to your question about when the Ireland BMDs will be made available to the public we can not give you any specific date or time.

Information about upcoming collections in Record Search has not been made available. We can only suggest that you regularly visit Record Search in FamilySearch.org. New collections are being added frequently and we hope it will not be too long until they are made available.

We appreciate the efforts you have made in participating in the Indexing Program. With the number you have indexed it really is a significant amount you have done. Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
FamilySearch Indexing Support

When I first contacted them in April 2008, I was told it could be “several weeks or months” before we would see the BMDs.  So is “it will not be too long” a step nearer??

Thanks. This is very frustrating and they haven;t done the bit I need which is pre 1864 

Hey ho! Visit over the water required I think for me!

Civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages started in 1864. It was only non-Catholic marriages that started in 1845.

Unfortunately my Irish line are all in Scotland pre 1864
