I spent a wonderful 4 days in Kansas City at the National Genealogical Society's conference. There were at least 1,500 attendees and by the fourth day we were all on overload from the classes. One of the pieces of good news that was shared was that the indexes for the early civil registrations for Ireland (birth, death, marriages) are being put online by Family Search, the LDS records program. I am not sure how much information with go with the index but their work tends to be very thorough so I assume county and registration district will be included. Nor did they give an exact release date but it appears to be "soon". I'm sure that there will be an announcement when it happens.
