Hi Twitter,

Sounds good indeed. Maybe an email to them will confirm details as I'm sure plenty will be looking forward to that ? 

I have used https://www.emeraldancestors.com/ in the past & I'm sure they wanted to charge me about the same price for a transcription as what I got an actual certificate for from GRONI if my mind serves me correctly ?

Thanks folks for the update. I and I'm sure many, many others with Irish roots eagerly await the launch.

Thought I'd just post to say I've been on to the nidirect website early this morning and have seen a message, stating that, from 9.00pm tomorrow there will be "several hours" of disruption due to essential maintenance.

A coincidence if nothing else comes of that, because Monday is rumoured to be the launch date...

This is like waiting for Santa

They may well go for a soft launch, i.e. they will put the site up with no publicity to make sure it’s OK. If you announce publicly that it’s going on-line at a specific time and date then what usually happens is that everyone tries to use it at once and it promptly crashes. If it runs OK for a few days they can then announce it with a greater likelihood that it’ll cope with the traffic.

Thanks for the head's up on this. Hopefully it is for real and will have a go Monday to see if it's there. So many have waited so long for this as getting stuff from GRONI was very expensive, at least I thought so, but this hopefully will not be.
Thanks
