The closest one to me does not have microfilm privileges  :o :o, and there I was thinking that it was the main Temple in Sydney!

There are several within the 50 miles radius, but how are they to work out which one i should go to, and how to get there

Can I guess that:

The quick returns on the Aussie records at the moment, .... errr .... Not too many RChatters on the Aussie Board know about it at present... 

I will start a thread to let them know about the new form  :) 
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=685720.0
And put a link back to this one. 

The 50 mile rule won't really work in Australia, so fingers crossed the delays of 4 to 6 weeks don't creep out further. 

Cheers,  JM

The record concerned is not available from Family Search as it is not a parish record. The record will need to be obtained from the Irish GRO.

I ordered using the new form yesterday. I kept by the one order per month guidelines so I may have slipped up by doing the decent thing if my requests are knocked back because of the new rules about your location. I've had an acknowledgement by e-mail but that doesn't mean they will fulfil the requests I may get a refusal from them at some point. The changes are obviously a result of the increased demand for the service. A better way of running the service would have been to limit everyone to one record per month instead of a maximum of five.

Trying to order one (1) duplication as per the new form, but it is still sitting there with the wheel going round and round, after about five (5) minutes.

Anyone else having similar troubles?

Has anyone applied to Family Search for records from England? I have had quite good luck with Scottish parish records but am wondering if I could get a copy of a 1867 death certificate from there.

Ayrshire, Scotland: Currie,  Gebbie
Argyllshire, Scotland: Clark, McDonald, McCorquodale,

Renfrewshire, Scotland: Lang, Jack

Hi

No, you can't get a copy of an English death certificate from Familysearch. Only the General Register Office (GRO) or the relevant Local Register Office can issue a death certificate.

The new rules have been put in place because people have been taking advantage of the system and demanded multiple records when it would be easy for them to visit a family history center and view the records themselves.
