Hello Kirwan cousins (note the spelling, since that's how MY Kirwans spelled it <g>) I recently purchased the British Isles VItal Records Index from LDS, which contains birth and marriages from 1538 - 1888. If any of you would like a Kirwan (or other family line) lookup, please e-mail me directly. If it is okay with Jana, maybe I will post the Kirwan responses to the list (if there are not too many). The CD only contains LDS index info, but will list parents names and places. It will also list any other children by that set of parents. I found several unknown siblings this way. The CD is by no means complete, contains about 5 million names, and most data is from civil registration. I was told the info on this CD is not duplicated in the IGI, and that has been my experience with my lines. Please provide as much info as you have, but the search features are pretty neat!
