    3. Thank you Ann and Judy who replied telling me this. What a rip-off (as usual with such sites). I could use other words but that would be unladylike :-) Sherry (Oxford, UK) FMP.ie is a separate site and takes separate subscriptions.

    3. I've needed to do a lot of Irish research, so I do sympathise. I would be interested in finding a website that's not a rip-off IF one exists for Irish records! I joined fmp.ie as they have a 14 day free trial at the moment, but they don't seem to have the records that I know exist & have found on other websites! The Jewish-Irish combo must be the most difficult to trace. I've been lucky, living in Liverpool I got a flight with Ryanair for just £9.98 + airport taxes. It came to less than £30 for the same-day return flight! Departure from Liverpool is about 11am, but it's only about 40 minutes flight. I had already emailed the Dublin Archives & booked what I wanted to research, which was the original alien records from WW1. Very few have survived, but Dublin's have! It was the most important 'find' in my search. The return flight is about 6pm, but that gives you a long afternoon to research. See the Dublin GRO website for tips & advice to get a day pass, or email me for further info. Not much good for those who live too far from Liverpool to take advantage of the cheap flights tho. I've found the one good thing about researching Irish Jewry is that ordering a certificate from the Dublin GRO is cheap at only €6euros. UK certs cost £9.25! So at the current exchange rate, it worth speculating. I've found my grandfather's siblings that way. It saved me months of research. I do have some wrong certs too. I might have wrong certs that are the right certs for somebody else! Is there a website where I can put these wrong Irish/Jewish certs? The other very helpful place for records is Donneybrook Hospital. That's if your ancestors were ever a patient there. Dublin's National Archives also have all 16 volumes of Stuart Rosenblatt research into Irish Jewry. You will find some mistakes, because Irish records are full of mistakes, so it's inevitable that mistakes are transferred. An Irish section on British-Jewry would be a great idea Sherry ;-) Post 1919 of course!
