    I don't know why you're so opposed to getting actual civil records. I'd never get a transcript from RootsIreland if I could get a real research copy cert. I just don't trust their transcripts!

    Why would they lie?

    The reason is because you have to wait like two weeks and I couldn't be bothered waiting that long.

    It's not that they're lying, it's just that I like to verify things for myself and I've seen too many errors on their site.

    You were willing to wait two years, based on how long this thread is running....:rolleyes:

    The research certs are the only ones I'd trust too, I've seen a lot of errors too in my search, when you get anything other than the photocopied entry your relying on the person reading the record to read it right and sometimes they don't read it right..... Same with church records, I've got my grandmothers marriage & birth cert all together in the same document, fathers name listed as william, priest listed as william, but on viewing the actual register they were both Johns, it was the person issuing the cert that decided they were Williams....
