Catholic Parish Records to go online in the Summer

[jc26red]

I guess the "guests" and press will be given the opportunity to play with the new website before it goes live.... Can't have the headlines "new "Catholic Parish registers at the NLI" website crashes within minutes" can they.

I think we've to wait for our illustrious politicians to have a party and then press the button to make it go live

What do you reckon on my chances of finding my great great grandparents who were from 'Ireland' in 1861 (sadly both had died by 1871 so are only on the one census in Cardiff).

But I know both their names, and a time frame as my great grandmother was born in Cardiff in 1857 and her older sister in Ireland around 1855.

Ages are a bit sketchy - my gg g'mother was 40 in 1861, but 38 on her death cert in June 1866 and 37 when she was buried the following day. My gg g'father was 45 in 1861, 55 when he died in 1869 and 53 when he was buried.

Well there are just under 400,000 scans, covering quite a few years and given the populations and number of RC's it will only cover a %age of them, so it is down to luck!!

To have any hope of finding them you will need to know where in Ireland they came from by townland/parish.  Even if you know that then it becomes a matter of whether that parish has records as far back as the 1820s - many have not. Then you have to hope that the records are legible and many are not.

Summer is your winter.

UGH

The radio was driving me barmy this morning as they kept saying "Oh you'll be able to trace you family back 300 years"

I WISH
