The Second Edition of the British Isles Vital Records Index has just arrived in my hands. I have used the first edition but didn't find much on Ireland there. This edition claims to have over one million Irish records. Just as a test I tried my mother's maiden name, Moher, which is quite a rare Cork name. I got 59 returns which seem to be from civil registrations from 1866 to about 1874. I noticed some older records from Parishes. Not the answer to all our Irish problems but it might be worth the $20 US investment for some. This is an LDS product so the price is very reasonable. Most of the records are English with some from Scotland and a very few from Wales. It appears to be real hit and miss if there is anything useful. God Bless John Paul Barrie, Ontario
