True Aghadowey but I am still well and truely stuck just hope some of our new pals may know of any recent developements
Sorry I've no idea on his denomination but he married in the Church of Scotland and his Grand children were all baptised Anglicans so I am guessing protestant
One day I am sure we'll find him He has a great service record which includes a ship wreck and a court martial

Sent another letter, and this time was sent a ''ticket no.'' for complaints, and apparently I can track my complaint. -sheesh.

[tootsiepie]

Apparently it's now being attended to.. this time the e-mail was slightly more personal and said that Donegal Anc. had forwarded complaint....

Sorry to bore you all with this, but it might stop someone else having same problem until the issue is resolved, at which point I will post on board.

I havn't heard of the problem you had with the bulk purchase on RootsIreland, but do know that there are duplicated records for some areas. Often these are the same event where one is a civil record, the second a parish record.

There are some records that have been transcribed twice from the same source. If you come across these let the IFHF, or the relevant county centre know and they will refund you the fee.

You can reduce the possibility of purchasing of these 'duplicate' records by selecting a source (i.e. a parish or registration district) before carrying out a basic or advanced search.

Thank you Shane,  I've been after this line(s) for donkeys years... The ones I selected to order are births 1820-1860.

The 6, I got access to, and the 2 previously bought I've not seen elsewhere, though the next 6 may have one or 2,  I already have, from Lindels site.

I fiddled about with all manner of search criteria before deciding on the one above.

I have got most relevant ones post 1860 (from Lindels site and Letterkenny reg.office). It's really just trying all avenues, before I decide that's all there is! I also got an army record from FindMyPast.

I thought at the reduced price it was worth a shot.

The advanced search used for bulk purchases works best for an individual family - i.e. where you have both parents names (note : many CofI records dont include mother's maiden name).

Quite a few parishes dont have records back to the 1830s or 20s - so narrowing down the parish first from your initial clues is a good way to start your search and save money, rather than searching all of a particular county.

It was advanced search I used Shane, and the Irish times site has been on my list  for many years.. It is so handy.      I left my search quite wide, for a few reasons.  A couple or 3/4 parishes may be involved, but mainly because it's an uncommon name  and I suspect they are all related.. All I need is one link for the older generations.   Using G.V. , Tithes , 1901 census etc.  Including BMD's and Scottish records (wonderful). Also an odd birth and marriage in Derry.  The Irishgraveyards site was helpful too. It is very slowly coming together.
