Catholic Parish Records to go online in the Summer

[Blue70]

They've done a good job it's a nice site. I found it a bit tricky at first finding an image for a transcript I had because of the various names for each parish but the map layout made it easy to resolve that. It will need a search to benefit beginners and general searches to try to find those "born in Ireland" ancestors. I was aware of the limited coverage of certain parishes and this will be a disappointment to many people who were not aware of the coverage dates.

I think the site works well and it hasn't crashed.

Is there a list of parishes with coverage anywhere? Or is it just a case of clicking on each parish and seeing what has been put online?

Are there any other records available or is that it, apart from more recent records?

I am finding the new church registers website slow and I have not been able to view any of the registers.  When I click on a microfilm I get a white screen and the cursor going around in circles......I am so disappointed...........Am I the only one who is having technical problems accessing the images?  McShane01

No......... unfortunately my g x 3 grandmother died (I think) in Ireland prior to 1851 census as he was a widower (had them looking for that too while I was in Ireland)

My g x 3 grandfather died 1865.
