I am fairly sure that a posting on this list has not already appeared regarding the below proposed transcription project, since I am a big proponent of using the Registry of Deeds materials and I do not recall this here. This appeared recently on the Limerick Rootsweb list, posted by Nick Reddan, an Aussie with many years of placing online Clare material since his Frost line was from the lower Bunratty area. Although there are two types of indexes already available in hard copy and in LDS filmings, Nick believes that a more comprehensive indexing is possible and better for research purposes. Sharon Carberry USA Nick Reddan "The registry of Deeds is a very important source for genealogical informaton in Ireland, particularly in the 18th century. There are limited indexes to the records by: * grantees of the deeds, and * Townlands These indexes are very limited and a fuller index would be most useful. To make the records more accesible, nothing that they are available on micro film thorugh the Mormon Family History Library system, I have initiated a project to index all the memorial volumes. I am calling for volunteers to assist with the project. Volunteers can assist by indexing parts of volumes that they may have obtained lo look at a particular memorial of interest to them. How to assist the project is set out on the home page of the project. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~registryofdeeds/index.html <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Eregistryofdeeds/index.html>; To start the ball rolling I have put up a few hunderd index entries. Any assistance is most welcome." --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato? Check out fun summer activities for kids.
