Nancy, The only way to access the Indexes, birth, deaths or marriages for Ireland are at the FHC in your area. Most FHC's keep the indexes for Ireland, and the UK in-house. They also have others depending on where you are located, our branch also stocks the Cdn and USA along with some Western European countries. You can also look at sites set up by individuals, such as Lindel, Carole, and myself along with many others. Some, such as my site are limited to certain surnames, Lindel and Carol have more data, they will post most data that is sent to them, so will I but have not rec'd any todate. My data, census and some BMD are also on Lindel's site. Some individuals also have the BIVRI #2 disks from the FHC, you can purchase these from the FHC/LDS site http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp There are a number of pay per view sites on the web but the FHC is the best place to start your research. They have most ot the UK copied and the price is very reasonable, the index films are free at our LDS/FHC branch and the register films are $5.50 for each for 30 day, they have to be ordered from Salt Lake..
