Thank you for contacting FamilySearch concerning the current engineering work in this collection.
During May our engineers are working on this collection in order to carry out essential engineering work. We will shortly be re-organising the familysearch.org website and in order to do this engineering work in a series of versions of the Index is underway. We would be happy to replicate any searches if you wish to provide us with details of the name, dates and places of the person(s) you are having difficulty with.
Currently there is no capability to apply to the results of a name search the place filter of the registration district. Our engineers are working to reload and ensure that this feature will work in the collection.
We thank you for oyur patience whilst this work is undertaken. The collection may be down for weekday periods and features may not work during this month.
If you wish us to replicate a search please reply with your case number XXXXXXX and Record Search in the heading and we will be pleased to assist you.
We hope that you will continue to use Record Search as a research resource. Please check it often as new collections are added to it frequently. May we also tell you about the wiki found at wiki.familysearch.org? It has background information about our collections and also points to many other databases that may have content that may be of interest to you. You may also post questions about the research you are doing on our forums found at forums.familysearch.org. We would encourage you to register for both with a single account id and password. Assistance to do so is available on the sites.

Sincerely,
FamilySearch

thanks for the update...

I hope they get the distinction between counties and the registration districts - as their response does not mention filtering by county, which is (and was) the only option.

I was pulling my hair out over the changes on the Pilot family search site... I thought I'd log on here to see if any of you were having similar problems.  Thanks everyone for putting my mind at rest and getting in touch with them... I thought I was losing my mind over this. 'Hope they sort it out soon as it was the most useful, free resource tool.

I know it is very frustrating. But lets bear with it as familysearchorg are aware of the problems and hopefully it will be sorted out soon. I think it will take awhile. I too am pulling my hair out as I cannot get records in the Dublin North City District, ie to find records and match them up

The Civil Registration Index has been 'pulled' from the Record Search Pilot Collection sometime in the last 12 hours.  Looks like/lets hope that Family Search are working on the problem!

well spotted!

I was doing some searches yesterday evening ok - so they must have done that sometime overnight (our time) ... I'm going to take that as a sign they are working on it.. fingers crossed

Irish Civil Registration index is back up this evening!

Looks better, but I don't think is right yet - it should be showing a marriage that took place at the Pro-Cathedral in 1878. The groom is there on the index but the bride isn't - it may of course be because the bride's details were never indexed. (It happens).

To check this out, could SKS please check on the microfilm or paper indexes and see if you can find a Teresa MCNALLY marrying a Daniel SHERIDAN in Jul/Sep 1878, North Dublin, Vol 2, Page 479. Daniel is there but Teresa still isn't.  I know the reference is correct, the marriage cert (showing both parties) arrived from Roscommon today.

looks much better... selecting Dublin in the search now includes records for the Dublin North registration district, and marriages are back as a valid event type....
