Hello, when I get certificates they take three weeks to arrive, if I ordered them from a local register office would they take less time to arrive? Lucia

You may want to check with them first - some register offices won't supply certs for Fam History - they say they don't have the staff to cope with the demand! Sue

I have ordered certificates from 1837 online several times and I have always received them within 7 days, I don;t know whether this is usual or am I just lucky. Rosemary

Trish You could try the Leitrim-Roscommon site at w w w leitrim-roscommon(.)com/index.shtml. They have some census records on there which might be useful. Kathleen
