Yes, in person; previous message posted several months ago on this board re. cost, etc. Search is £10 IRE (about $11.50 US, check current exchange, search fee was posted on the wall last September), and copies are £1 each. Add postage, etc. Don't be surprised if you received a strip of paper with only the entry you requested, so ask for a copy of the top-of-column identifications, too. They are supposed to give you only the entry, not the whole page, for privacy reasons, although what it matters after 100-plus years eludes me. People there were very helpful. If you know the exact month/year, probably won't be charged a search fee, but if it is more than, say, a year's search, a fee might be charged. Each book is indexed and each book appears to be one year or so. The NE Health Board covers all of Monaghan, at least. You are better off contacting the NE Board rather than Dublin, if you are sure that your ancestor came from Monaghan -- small office, fewer requests, more focused. They do lookups, copying, and it surely is cheaper!
