    The site is currently offline. Has all the appearance of being hacked.

    Maybe, they're uploading all the birth certificates from 1864 to 1915 that we've been so eagerly anticipating. :D Or matching up all the marriage entries from 1845 to 1876, which would be a brilliant surprise as well.

    Maybe in future searching for Kelly married to Murphy might even return the same results as searching for Murphy married to Kelly...

    Oh - it looks more like the site has been hacked, as otherwise they would have a message.

    Has there been an update to the church records section? I never noticed that section with St Michael's COI Dublin before.

    Yes there has been an update. A previously missing file from another parish, that I notified them about some months back, is now available.

    And the whole site had to go off line without any warning for a whole day to add one file.
    What an amazing website!!

    Don't be upset. On a good day I'm lucky to get more than one bar of 3G. No possibilty of cable, phone exchange is too far away for that route. Ever try to download an image when the dongle is reading 'E'? There are times when I think I like the Healy-Raes!

    I was in the GRO office yesterday and mentioned to one of the staff that Irishgenealogy seemed to have vanished. Staff member knew nothing about it, had never accessed the site. Seems like so much potential being lost...

    FFS! A site that directly leads to business for them. Absolutely ridiculous: but they are of course managed by different departments of government.
