Hi Everyone Yes, Jeanne, I was SO excited that our long promised BDMs were FINALLY on line I had trouble with the addresses. Also, problems arose with everyone inundating the site - I tried it out myself before the posting to List. Tried to search Horn - got Luscombe then when I retried I got Glover. Also it switched from Births to Marriages in the midst of all this - without any help from me!!! Those of us who have had to deal with the Registrar General's Dept in Brisbane know that one can expect problems. In fact, at this stage, I have to travel to Brisbane (I live 320klms away interstate) to obtain a registered copy of my own Marriage Certificate. Because it is in the last 25 years I, apparently, can't apply online. So later this week I head off to Brisbane armed with my birth certificate (original); first Marriage certificate; Death certificate of my first husband; original church marriage lines (for second marriage), in the hope that I can obtain a Registered copy of this marriage. Why do I need this Marriage Certificate? It's all because I have to obtain a new passport to come to County Clare in August. Is it worth it? Of course it will be. Can't wait. Many thanks to everyone who have given so much help and encouragement with my research and the incentive to finally (hopefully) overcome my Fear of Flying to tackle the long journey to my ancestors homeland.

Listers should go and take a look at the list of Claremen in the Royal Navy which has just been contributed by PJ Culligan to the Clare Library site at . http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/claremen_royal_n avy.htm . Lots of familiar names there. Paddy
Dear List, I found a Scanlan, some Sheedy's, an O'Connor, but I do not think that they are mine. Even the first names of some are the same as mine, but I do not think they are mine due to the city and date. Thank you very much for being able to look at the list. Alanna
