Let me see if I understand. If I can't find my relations on familysearch.org, albeit with little detail, it probably means that getting the films from the LDS library would be futile? My specific situation is that my family spent the years from 1864/1865 to 1891 in Scotland, and I'm about to pay a professional in Scotland to try and research where they might have come from in Ireland. The records I've seen online only say, 'Galway'. I can find records in Scotland of births, but of the children who were born before the family moved to Scotland, nothing. I thought that meant that no one was researching that particular family, but you're saying that all of Volume 4 (for Galway) is online, as far as you know? So far, I've looked online for deaths in Scotland for the period after 1865, without finding anything. (This is on scotlandspeople.gov.uk, a pay-per-view site.) I've looked for a marriage I know took place (my ggrandparents) in Scotland without finding anything, so not everything was registered, as far as I can tell. For Ireland, I've relied on familysearch.org, but there is nothing at all for the people I'm looking for. If anyone has any ideas about any additional online resources, I'm certainly game. It's quite a puzzle, and I have no idea where to even begin. Any advice is more than welcome. I'm looking for: Patrick (possibly Patrick Joseph) BURKE, born 14 Mar 1864, in Galway. Patrick married Margaret KILCOYNE (born 04 Mar 1868) on 01 Aug 1887 in Perth, Scotland. His brother (or possibly half-brother) was Michael BURKE, born 29 Oct 1868 in Stirling, Scotland to Patrick Peter BURKE and Bridget STANTON. His sister (or possibly half-sister) was Bridget BURKE, born 09 Dec 1865 in Stirling, same parents. Thanks for any help or hints anyone can offer. Catherine

Catherine, My GGF was born in 1862 in Ayrshire. The birth cert included the maiden name of the mother and data and place of marriage (which was in Ireland). I would never have had this info any other way. It is well worth obtaining these certs. And this LDS films do contain info that is not on familysearch. The films are of the actual record books. Not all this info has been put online.
