6 more sleeps until the NLI Santa arrives :D

OH!  You mean you'll sleep that night when they are due for release ????

Santa doesn't visit if you don't sleep, I wouldn't want to jinks it.

With 390,000 images I'm wondering how many records it will contain given the population it has to cover over time..... can't sleep for wondering!  :-))

Rootschat etc will be mad busy with people trying to figure out handwriting etc.... thank goodness one can get 2 pairs of specs for the price of one!!

I'm just hoping that I will be able to find a few older records that RootsIreland.ie has missed.

It won't be fun trying to make sense of the records, until I viewed some old Irish transcripts, I never knew that my bad hand-writing was an Irish trait!
Galway: Treacy, Egan, Boland, Flynn, Cahill
Cork: Hurley, Barrett
Donegal: Kelly, Diver

RootsIreland haven't even touched one of my lots parish yet so I should be on a winner. All fingers and toes firmly crossed.

Maybe they'll decide to save money and cancel them, then send the money to our needy EU neighbours in Greece??

heheheee...

Now this may be a silly question after all the excitement and waiting.... Fingers and toes are crossed for tomorrow.

Does anyone know how access to the NLI RC records will be made available? I haven't found a "watch this space" for a link yet  :-\

thank you Hallmark, I've known the date for sometime.

Its a link to where the parish records are going to be posted as I'm uncertain whether its directly on the NLI website or elsewhere.
