Ireland / Re: RootsIreland mistranscriptions and errors

Lucky, lucky you. I am not aware of any other Church's in Ireland that offer this service
My paternal ancestors are from Co. Meath and I am finding it very difficult to get any info (prior to 1864) from a church there. In contrast my maternal ancestors are from Co. Wicklow and I have had a great deal of help and  information from the church secretory at the church there. This has enabled me to take this line of ancestors much further back than I had expected.

I have used  IFHF to access the records of my ancestors, sometimes with good results, but often with mistranscriptions, much as other contributors have experienced. 
I have waited a long time in the hope that these records would become available when parish records are digatised  and available to view (i am happy to pay a subscription to access the records)

However   

A report in Sunday Independent 31st March 2013
'Genealogy firm resists online records'
"A genealogy service has said that if the State puts church and family records on line it will have a "significant impact" on earnings of family history centres.
The IFHF with ................... ... earned income of 1,089,763 euro for 2012, with profits of 34,161 euro for the year, according to to documents lodged in the Companies Office

Meath / what to do now ?
« on: Friday 06 April 12 22:52 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me where to go from here please. I am looking for info on my gg grandfather John Brennan who was a carpenter.

The info I have about him so far is:

He is named on my ggrandfather Richard Brennans marriage certificate from 1877 in navan

I contacted the RC church and got a copy of a marriage cert for a John Brennan and Bridget Fox in 1855 whom I believed to be them. But because it is a

preset form, there is no info on the parents of the above couple nor whether either were widowed.  I have also got baptism certs for children of theirs from the 1860s but Richard my ggrandfather whom i believe was born 1855- 1858 is not among them.

I then discovered that a John Brennan (carpenter) married a Margaret Renshaw in Slane (coi) in 1852 with his Fathers name as Michael. They also had Children.

I have searched the records and cannot find a birth cert  for Richard Brennan with Father as John. As a result I am unable to progress with this tree. If anyone can point me the right direction I would be very greatful as I have beeN going round in circles for months with this one.

Ireland / Re: Change of Terms at rootsireland.ie
« on: Friday 06 April 12 01:04 BST (UK)  »
I have also had the same email today, despite as I said in my previous post that I had contacted them to say that I would no longer be using their facility

because of the changes to their terms.

I know that these emails are sent as mass emails but it shows that any protest about these changes are falling on deaf ears. Although I recognise that this

site provides a valuable resource (particularly for people who are unable to visit Ireland to do their own research) the cost of obtaining the information with

these changes will be prohibitive for many people.
