Catholic Parish Records to go online in the Summer

[taramcdsmall]

I'm sure rootsireland are sighing with relief that people will still need to go to them for a lot of records.

I won't knock them as I really have gotten great records off them.

I was hoping today to get the images off NLI to match the transcripts that I bought off rootsireland but so far I'm not having much luck but am enjoying the search nonetheless !

One success so far.

Handwritten index 'modern transcription', also available to view on the site today and clearly showing McLune surname, which I had known about for some years now (courtesy of UHF), but had always believed person was more likely a McClure -  now also being able to view and compare with original handwritten entry on register page, it is clear first four letters on that are McCl not McLu and sixth looks more likely to be an 'r', so I now consider it to indeed be McClure.

They won't be indexed or transcribed so we'll need to continue using Roots Ireland to narrow the search down.

Hi Blue,

Does that mean that anything which is not on rootsireland won't be on the new site (mine isn't on rootsireland)

Yes, just a pity the site I originally paid for details seem to have used the 'modern transcript' entry, as if they had used the original, I think it would have been obvious it was different.

Having been to Dublin to view the records, I'm finding these so much easier to navigate and read.

Me too though I am going through the ones I am certain of first.

Some of the 'modern transcripts' are actually available to view on the new site today too, but remember to take the transcripts with 'a pinch of salt' and compare for yourself with the original.
