Here in Australia we pay AU$5 for hire of a film for 4 weeks which I think is very good value. However, one thing which has me guessing is whether or not one should make use of the Volume/page numbers when applying to the GRO for a copy of the required certificate? I usually only give the month and year - would it make their job any easier [and a swifter reply] if I also gave these nos?

If not, US$5.50 per film.

The idea is, Peggy, to provide them with the FULL reference - the page and volume number are most important, and I understand from other correspondence on the subject, one has to remind them that a photo-copy, and probably a certificate, are cheaper - although their webpage on fees doesn't indicate that point. ***** Reply to the LIST ONLY - Please ***** ***** Thanks for your consideration ***** Pádraig Mór, An Sean Gabhar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggy" <pegleg2@bigpond.net.au> To: <irl-cork@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:49 PM Subject: Re: Research in Ireland > Here in Australia we pay AU$5 for hire of a film for 4 weeks which I think > is very good value.
