    Wahey!!! They offered a good explanation as to their delay.
    We have had a number of queries as to timescales for placing future counties online. We apologise for the delay in responding to you all.

    Although we placed Antrim, Kerry and Down online in December, we encountered a number of errors in transcription, as well as some missing material. We have requested our partners to review the material with a view to improving accuracy. These three counties, with improved data quality, along with Cork, Donegal, Wexford, Galway and King’s County (Offaly) will be placed online by the end of May.

    Rejoice :)

    Yeah, I saw that. I hope this works out in the timeline they provide. I'm really looking forward to having a few other counties online that I need. The prospect of 1901 online by the end of the year makes me look forward to Christmas though!! The 1901 is very difficult to search on microfilm.

    I'm waiting on Offaly myself :) am glad it has been bundled in. And as you say 1901 will be a treat! I have gone and spent hours through the microfilm and have learnt that it can wait! Save me the headache.

    Thanks for the update! Just had a quick look and talk about an information overload - my head is spinning - and I am dealing with an uncommon name. :)

    Oh, I've been waiting for this! Could sit here for hours looking through it. You think they'd let me help transcribe the rest? :) Not like I've anything else to do all summer!

    Found my Wexford granny immediately and all her family. I hadn't known any of them except one grand aunt. With the Down and Dublin census returns now online it completes all my great-grandparent names and details. All of the information I had before was verified by the census.
