Sean, thank you for that information. When I was at the genealogy conference in Boston two years ago, I spoke with one of the founders of the IFHF. I asked why there was no heritage center in West Cork. He talked about records being indexed and "ready to go," but there was some type of problem that involved politics. He told me the best way to be heard was to write to Mr. Brennan. So it makes sense that if we would like to see changes on the IFHF, he would be the one to write to - to at least ask for a fair fee, whether or not it be an annual membership fee. Pointing out the weaknesses of the site (too many people with the same name and/or not having the other spouse's name for the marriage record), Mr. Brennan might see that the fees are too expensive at present.
