Yes great site -found lots of relatives deaths!
Is there any way of seeing the page direct? and how do you order the certificate from the information given - sorry for sounding a bit slow !?!?

Is there a way i can search the irish GRO site just by page? i know my great grandad THOMAS JOSEPH WALSH born 1910 in Kilkenny, i also know he had a twin brother who i think was called Edward but i need to check the page to see if they are both on there if you see what i mean?!

Hi All


I have just stumbled onto this thread today, and after ages of searching I have now found my great grandparents marriage. (whoopie, how
chuffed am I!!!). I then went to the Irish Gro site and printed of my application for a marriage cert. Only problem came that when I went to fill out the form it is asking me for an actual date for the marriage, when all I have is a quarter and a year date. Does anyone know how I can get round this?, or what to do next?

Thanks in advance
Tracie.

Keep in mind that that RecordSearch site is only a pilot. I received this as part of a reply to a question I sent to RecordSearch Feeback the other day:

"Record Search is still under development. This release is considered a pilot. This means that at times, Record Search will not be available while additional records are added and some features are improved. We may also remove record collections that have been on the site previously. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Thanks. I'll try again in a day or two.

They seem to have removed the database - hopefully just a temporary situation.

Sorry I just noticed that isn't the dates for my Grandmother Mary Carney or Kearney and her sister Catherin Carney or Kearney births. the months are wrong on both of them. The year is correct though.

Hi mgnv

I guess I'm doing something wrong as I can't get to any Ireland collections. Ireland is not mentioned under Europe and when I view 'All Collections', there's nothing for Ireland. What am I doing wrong?

Regards

I am having terrible diffs with the Family Search Pilot Site ,Irish Collection. First time I tried it out I got my Dad's DOB, even his rather unusual middle name, which I hadn't entered. Since then I've made several attempts to find it again without success. The site now denies all knowledge of him. Looking for some other ancestors in County Down I'm getting a message " The requested record is not available " when I try to access one from the index. Click on it and you get a box which reads "Service Error This collection 1000 is not available. In Feedback, please report this error code and collection name. (Error 1401)"
Anybody else experienced this or worked out how to to get round it?

It looks a good site but when I tried to add it to my favourites I got an error report and the internet closed down!

Thanks ,Im going to try this site later

You're welcome Evelyn. I'm glad it's worked for you!

Hi Sarah.

Thanks so much!! I finally get it - using the Paste function in the Word progam, instead of trying to find it on the clipboard.

Really appreciate your help.

When you see that message, it should already be copied to your clipboard. Just click on OK, and then paste into Word or another program using the Paste function in the Word menu, or right-click and then Paste, or by pressing Ctrl-V.
(there is no need to copy again; clicking on "copy to clipboard" should already have copied it)

Hi Sarah.

I also get the message that I can copy and paste from the clipboard. Only I can't. The copy and paste function only appears in light grey and is unresponsive!

Thanks anyway!

Do you know, I did that and still didn't see! Just seen him now, thank you.

They should be pretty complete. Have you read the Record Description, Record Coverage, etc., on the Ireland Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958 search page?
Also try searching with "Exact, close & partial" selected (instead of "Exact & close match") as that seems to bring up more results.
