Hi list this is the reply I received from IFHF..doesnt sound too promising. Cris ----------- Dear Ms. Murphy   Our new online database research system is a facility for those wishing to research their family ancestry using Irish Family History Foundation centre databases.  These unique databases have been compiled by the individual centres at their own expense and many have taken over 20 years to complete.  Unfortunately the search fields are limited at present and may be for some time.  The site is a search aid and no guarantee can be given for a successful search.   This service is for those wishing to conduct their own online research.  We also offer a full professional research service at our centres and we offer a fixed fee for a single birth, death or marriage search from the database.  Our researchers can determine which, if any, of the records relates to your ancestor as they have access to the full details.  Perhaps this is a way for you to consider tracing your ancestors.  If we locate an ancestor we can also check for siblings and make further research proposals.    We value for all feedback and we will certainly take your comments on board.  This is a new initiative for the Irish Family History Foundation and its member centres which are not for profit organizations.  The income generated funds the development and maintenance of the site as well as allowing us to continue computerizing further records.  Further counties will go online in the next two months.   We hope you will stay in touch with site and its future development.      Yours sincerely IFHF   www.irish-roots.ie

Cris, What a pathetic reply you received from IFHF. To use one of their researchers requires one to "rob" a bank first, then you don't really know what result you will receive. I am, however, extremely doubtful of their managerial and marketing skills. Their replies seem to requests seem to vary from one to another.
