Hi,
Thanks for the info on certificate ordering.
I faxed Roscommon on Tuesday evening and received my 2 certificates in Scotland on Saturday, all for only 8 euros.
Am going to take full advantage of this service now as its the most progress ive made in 2 years on my Irish relations.
Can you tell me what information is on a death Cert. Does it include parents names.
My 3x Great Grandfather died in County Antrim in 1888. Is it correct I can order that cert from Roscommon too.
Regards
Mark

The Irish birth certificate I got didn't have a lot of useful information in my case, date, cause of death and address may be useful but in this case I already knew this, no parents names etc.

I have recently been getting some certificates from Roscommon and  have been pleased by their service, being in Australia means it does take ages to get anything.  

I've been using the Mastercard Travel Money card for this purpose and find this is very satisfactory and means I don't have to give the details of my primary card through the post.  

The cost has been 4 euros each and response has been fairly quick when I've ordered a single certificate but the last order I put in was for 9 certificates and from checking the credit card action nothing has happened 3 weeks after sending it, maybe having trouble with one may be holding up the order.

The office will not contact you by phone, especially overseas and no net either so if there is a problem its all snail mail, they do give you a number to call and this got me through direct to the person concerned and the problem was solved very quickly, she even let me order another couple of certificates there and then so it actually saved me time and money.

It seems to work fine if you give them exactly the information they require, don't worry about their form just make up your own and be sure to sign it.  I'll attach a copy of the form I've been using.

Trying to post a copy of the form, may have to do it some other way.

Changing it to a text file made it look a little untidy but the details are all there.

full certs are not allowed on RootsChat - see these topics for notes on the details they include :

  Details included on a Birth Cert
  Details included on a Marriage Cert
  Details included on a Death Cert


Remember to check the Resource boards :  Ireland, Dublin, Antrim & Cork (and stickies at the top of other county sub-forums)

Sorry, should have realized about not publishing full certificates.  One thing I'd add in regards to the contents of marriage certificates is that in the 'Residence at Time of Marriage' column, on some of the certificates I've received the address is simply given as Belfast, not much help if relying on that as a confirmation.
