    I haven't bothered making a list because I'll be working through every branch of my tree. A list would just be everybody.

    new 'image' link appearing on index records on IrishGenealogy - see Joe Buggy's twitter post

    I was able to see an image for an 1868 Rathdown birth - full page of the register with 10 births

    That is good news.
    When I first purchased certs in Joyce House in the 90's you got an image with more then one entry which was great when trying to decipher difficult handwriting.

    I wonder does this mean we won't be able to browse the registers? That would be unfortunate, because there are certs I haven't been able to locate by searching the indexes.

    Same here, I got access to two records so far by searching by name! This could be a very unproductive day work wise!!

    seems to be births only at the moment - haven't found any image links for deaths or marriages. Easy enough to access a batch of records to analyse later - e.g. just downloaded all the pages with births for one surname in a single district for 10 years, including my grandfather and his siblings.

    I found one for a 1933 death. Haven't searched for more than that yet.

    I've been able to access Marriages and Deaths in my searches.

    Able to access Deaths aswell as births. Will be a very busy day for me :D

    Update: some of the indexes don't have any image.Its says:
    There is currently no image to display. This may be because the record was registered or amended in a later year, or there are quality issues with the original image. I wonder does that mean some havnt been uploaded yet as the official launch day still a bit off as it gives you a link where you can order a copy?

    I'm able to see my great great grandmothers sisters birth record, and she's still alive (and 101) - must get on to the DPC immediately! :pac:

    (actually, there's an illegible callout on the side of her entry, think its a clarification of spelling of a middle name but not certain. She's sharp enough to still ask the question to though)

    I've got some marriages already. This is fantastic.

    Getting this for a lot of death records between 1865 to 1900:

    "There is currently no image to display. This may be because the record was registered or amended in a later year, or there are quality issues with the original image.

    Photocopies or official certificates can be obtained via the following link.

    If you have any further queries you can contact the General Register Office at gro@groireland.ie."

    Two great-great-great-grandfathers named and death date windows narrowed down already. I must remember to do some actual work today...

    that's what I'm seeing for any of the deaths or marriages of interest to me - is it just later records for these that seem to be available ?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,609 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    I guess they're still putting them up - it's early stuff I'm getting that message on.

    Found one record going to an entirely different page - 1879 Borrisokane opening an 1879 Castledermot page.


  • Registered Users Posts: 565 ✭✭✭hjr


    I have a record from Ireland, Civil Registration Births Index, 1864-1958, which I can't find at all...

    Any ideas?

    I'm quite worried about this, it's happened to me twice so far and I've only looked at about 5 :/

    Cootehill, Cavan brought me to Mohill, Leitrim. The other one is the right district and year but wrong page.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,609 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    This is very early days - they're still putting them up. No one panic!

    I've a few I haven't found: all quite early. Once or twice the wrong page is the link. They'll iron these things out: I hope.

    Literally haven't moved from the computer in 2 hours...need a sus beag.

    Whats up and what isn't of the old stuff is very strange. Got an 1864 (so very start of the line) birth but 1878 death that's probably her father isn't there.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 11,291 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hermy


    It seems to have reverted to the old site without images.

    Captcha not showing for me at all now. I was really enjoying dipping in and out and getting dates etc.

    Still, I'm very pleased about it!

    It's been working fine for me since, Hermy, just had to kinda go back in again. Did you get in?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,609 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Working for me.

    Lots of the older records in the old format of page/volume etc don't have images.

    Yes working for me too! Able to see my great grandparents marriage certificate. Of course I already paid for a photocopy many years ago... So many €4s wasted! Little did I know... ;)
