Hi.... Considering how difficult it has been for most of us to find our Irish ancestors, I welcome the addition. Perhaps the National Library should have made the information available sooner! I am wondering just how complete these records are?

Now I see he National Library of Ireland is upset about it. f you have access - you might want to check these out before they are gone. :) >From Irish News (blog) HE NATIONAL Library of Ireland says it had no prior knowledge of ncestry's intention to release transcriptions of records which form art of the Library's collection of parish registers and is uestioning the genealogy giant's legal right to have done so. he subscription site yesterday launched a major update to its Irish ecords offer, including some 450,000 Roman Catholic register entries ating from 1742 to 1884. These were microfilmed back in the 1980s by he NLI. - hristina =============================== GP County Tipperary website: ttp://www.igp-web.com/tipperary/ ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-TIPPERARY-request@rootsweb.com ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message
