St Josephs nursing home

[frenchE]

Hi all
I have been trying to find my Mammys roots and I came across this forum and it has really startled me.
If what is said on here is true:
1. Birth certificates were falsified? How do we know this?
2. The records were sent to HSE but they say they don't have them? Can they be forced, by law, to surrender them, if they do have them?
Has anyone found anything new since this thread was started?

The child and family agency Tusla found details of falsified birth certs from 1946 to 1969 where the mothers name was changed or where the adopting couple were registered as the natural parents. The Irish Times reported on it as far back as 1996 and many more reports in 2018 and since the latest commission findings in 2021. News reports said Tusla would contact anyone who was affected. Some reports suggested there could be up to 20,000. These are some of the articles.

Hi All

Just checking in to see if anyone have been successful in ascertaining where our birth records are. Meaning the Midwife, Murial J Gallagher's birth ledgers; which all mid wives were obliged to keep?

In the meanwhile let me share this photograph of Nurse Gallagher with you, which I found on another site.

Th photograph shows Nurse Gallagher carrying a baby nearby her house at 78 Lr. Drumcondra Road.
