Cork Ancestral Project records going online
« on: Monday 02 July 12 17:28 BST (UK) »
Margaret Jordan, the Cork genealogist, has been fighting this battle for many years. She had hoped to get them up on irishgenealogy.ie but they are going up on RootsIreland:

Margaret Jordan has led a courageous campaign and I for one am disappointed that after all these years, the general public are now expected to pay for records which should be made free.

Well done Margaret. I'll be saving my remaining free index searches for these records. They are my only hope at the moment of finding my people.

Please, can anyone tell me if ALL the parishes in Cork City (both RC and C of I) will be available?

Thanks,

Chris

As far as I know this is just RC. There is some information here about a COI project

The Records for St Marys & St Anns should have been put up on
www.irishgenealogy.ie as it was the Irish tax payer who paid to have the
transcriptions done.  It was done under a Government job scheme.

We had been promised that these records would be added to the
Irish genealogy site and available to everybody freely.

A good few people that I know here in Cork are also taking up the issue
with the relevant people, although it does seem like it is too late as
obviously an agreement has been made at this stage to sell these
records commercially.

We will have to wait and see if they change their minds!!!

Thanks Sonas and Celtic Liberty for your replies. I've been waiting for years to view these records; I just hope that the marriage(s) that I want to see will be there! I too think that it is wrong to charge people to view information which I feel ought to be available freely and easily; I just don't know if anything can be done about it. I'd be very willing to sign a petition, but at this stage, I'm not sure that it would make any difference.
