Tips for searching Irish BMD civil registrations

[wyanga]

I have had someone search the death index at GRONI for me and there are some deaths that he was unable to find . They are likely to be in the late 1900's period.
  My query is : Does the searchable index capture names up to the present, or is there a limit to the period that the records have been indexed to ?

I explained this in September (see reply#52)- the online index goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties.

  I am not referring to the online index.
 I am referring to the searchable index at GRONI in Belfast
when one visits and conducts a search
  Are these up to the present for Births, Marriages and Deaths ?

This is the item on the GRONI web site, but it does not say if the indexes are up to the present date.
          General Register Office Northern Ireland (GRONI)
GRONI holds civil birth, adoption, death, marriage and civil partnership records. It also maintains a public search room where you can search computerised indexes. The index provides name, date and place of event.

Registration indexes held by GRONI
•Births registered in Northern Ireland from 1 January 1864
•Adoptions recorded in the Adopted Children Register Northern Ireland from 1 January 1931
•Deaths registered in Northern Ireland from 1 January 1864

  There is often a time lag for the most recent years when indexes are created. I am trying to establish the end year that is searchable.

I am new to this facility so I hope it's ok to give this info.
General Records office in Belfast offer both an online search service and also a search in person on their computers .
I have done both.
Indexes free to search. For more info the cost is 1 credit which works out at 40 pence
Or to see copy of actual certificate cost 5 credits = £2 sterling.
Plenty of info and help available on site and examples of copies also given.
If you search groni. You will be able to navigate and search online.
You might already know this. But just in case. Hope this helps
Sorry £7 charge to use gro computers in their offices
