Wednesday's Website/Irish Genealogy.ie

    I've mentioned this website before, five years ago in fact, but a vast amount of information has been added since then.  This site now has, in addition to a Church Record database and Civil Registration indexes, links to numerous online sources as seen below--


     On the home page is a single, simple to use form that will search all the databases listed above if you prefer that route; if you leave the form blank and just hit "search now", the list of databases will appear and can be searched individually. There are also tabs across the top of the page to search Church and Civil Records and one for research advice. 
          
     You don't need to register or log in to use the site though some databases will ask you to solve a captcha, and the Civil Registration database requires you to give your name, any name actually, and tick a box agreeing not to use the information for nefarious purposes.  I really enjoy using this well designed site, which by the way is completely free.  If you haven't visited lately, I recommend you stop by.

  1. This is a good reminder about this site, especially if you have Cork and Kerry people!

  3. I sometimes don't bother to look at old websites, but they do add new content from time to time. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

  4. With my numerous Dublin city lines, their church records site remains my favorite genealogy website.
