Paid with my card too and it charged me £3.40 - so glad I didn't put a E5 note in! Every penny counts

Can I just check, the copy of the register for €4 will have exactly the same details as getting the copy certificate for €10? I'm a bit confused!

A research cert (the €4 one) is a photocopy/scan of the original register which in my opinion the best option... as if here are any sections that are difficult to read you can ask others to assist.

The other types of certs are general or certified transcripts (i.e. for passports etc) and are done from the same register. The details included in both on the research certs or these transcripts is the same.

Thank you, the €4 one definitely sounds more attractive from a cost point of view!

I often look up the familysearch.org site which gives BDM details on-line
If you send the GRO in Roscommon the year, quarter, volume and page number with the name and any other details you have they will send on the cert to you.

Also when I order I send my credit card details but omit the 3-digit verification code and ask them to phone if they require it - once they phoned! For snail mail it works!!

Just to clarify, I have been over to the Dublin GRO Research Room last week from the UK and only managed to locate a couple of certs I needed, now I am back and can access my pc / familysearch pilot site I am looking to obtain more photocopies.

Do I obtain these from Roscommon GRO or the Dublin research room ? I did bring a couple of slips of paper (application cert. forms) back with me from the research room in case I wanted to post some requests, but it seems like you have requested photocopies from Roscommon for 4 euro and sent the cash ?

Thanks.

Because I am impatient by nature, I have begun to use the rootsireland.ie site which provides me instant gratification. For 5€ I receive an official looking transcription which I find to be an adequate substitute for the certificate.
