As far as I can see they are concentrating on areas not already covered by the IFHF system.

Just in case . . . here's a plea for Co Monaghan.

This site is amazing,I noticed a record which showed "foundling"
where the address should be so I got curious and did a search with no name just foundling for address and it came up with a list of results,if you look at the names of some and the location of the hospital you can see why they were given their names,poor little mites.Also some results show older children and even adults,this I did'nt understand.

p.s. just found this listed as address for a Patrick O'Brien born 1870,
"FOUND AS A DESERTED CHILD IN KENNEDY'S LANE"
most likely on the original record but is it any wonder some records are hard to find.

came across a query re Daniel Patrick Quinlan Bandon Co Cork who emigrated to MA. U S A in 1842 ref Kathleen Johnson with posting address attached but can't locate that particular posting since my original finding.   would like to be able to regain access to this address

Who are you looking for in Monaghan? I photographed quite a few cemeteries during summer and also got quite a few records that I'm currently entering into a database...

Does any one know if you can access the scans
only through a particular record or if you can scroll through a particular register book?

Hi Padraig,you will notice that any scans of the books already on the site are highlighted in blue writing at the bottom of the record,its not possible to scroll through them.At the moment not all scans have been digitised but hopefully will gradually appear over time.

it's a little bit techie... but you can 'scroll' through some of the registers. Dont know if it works for all of them, but it works for the parishes I was searching that had images added.

What you do is add or subtract 1 from the image number in the URL (the web address in your browser).

e.g. to scroll through marriages for Clontarf, Dublin (Church of Ireland), start at this link

...../reels/d-833-1-1-051.pdf

the image number is the 051 at the end of the address. To move to the next page change the image number in the webpage address to 052 and hit enter.

There are separate volumes for births and marriages, and the numbers are not always continuous and restart at new values when a new register volume is started. Once you find the a starting point you can try working forwards or backwards by altering the number.

The index system and searches are quite good, but if you are trying to double check a particular date, you could start off by locating an unrelated baptism or marriage in the right parish, in the relevant month and then scroll back or forward from there.

Each image shows one or two complete pages of the register.

Great Shane
that indeed does work
looks like I'll have some fun searching times ahead.

Thanks Padraig
