Hello all: Well I too have glanced at the new registry link. Does anyone know how to find the name of an unknown spouse on the marriage registry or the names of parents on the birth registry. The registry numbers are helpful if I have the microfilm in front of me but not so much if I only have the name and number of a potential relative. Any help would be appreciated.

To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" This a great new site and thank you to those who alerted us all. I see this development a turning point in NI research. I spent years, including three trips to Ireland, to find this info. Sort of feel I have been a bit out-flanked, but I am happy for all those for whom this resource will be a "'god-send". In a couple of years or so all the basic information will be on line and easily accesible. Still nothing can ever replace those memorable trips to Ireland! One word of caution, there may be un-reliability in this new data in-somuch as some RC parish priest were very slow "to get with the new program". During the transition period when the RC clergy were coming up to speed, I think I am safe in saying that some parish ceremonies did not make it to the civil registration authorities. So if you can not find records where you expect them to exist, check back with the parish records themseves. I am not sure if this is the right way to say this, but I have been "be-deviled" over the years by the sloppiness in the way parish preists managed their registers. Events are mis-dated, participants mixed up, and date-order meant nothing at all. I think priests kept their notes on scaps of paper in their pockets and brought their journals up to date as it occured to them. Still, i thank them for their work and the legacy of these documents. For a penance, try and work your way though the Magheradrool RC Parish Register. Including the most valuable information, it also portrays every register-keeping error known to man or priest My best to you all, especially all the pioneers in Co Down geneology research like Raymond and Ros, and those others who led the way.
