The Irish genealogy site displays badly in internet explorer. It appears as normal in Firefox and other browsers. If you are looking at it on Internet explorer, there is a slidebar on the bottom of the screen and if you slide it to the right the other buttons will appear. It has been like that for a while but I thought they would have it fixed by now as I presumed that they test it on all the browsers! There seems to be a preoccupation with records before 1820 and if you are researching generally in Ireland, you would be deemed very lucky to have any records before that date. I have come across areas where the records started much later than that and even if they do start then they can be very sporadic. I don't know why we don't have access to church burial records as they would bring many of us a bit further back. When you see that a person is a widow or widower, it is very hard to find out when the spouse died and consequently when they were born.

John Grenham's "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors," 2nd ed., p. 25, says that keeping of Catholic burial records was much less thorough than in the Church of Ireland with fewer than half the parishes in the country having a register of burials before 1900 and even where they exist they are intermittent and patchy.  Paul Keroack ________________________________ From: Phil Stokes <philastokes@gmail.com> To: irl-kerry@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, September 7, 2013 6:25 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-KERRY] IRL-KERRY Digest, Vol 8, Issue 138 The Irish genealogy site displays badly in internet explorer.
