The Irish civil registration indexes of births, marriages and deaths, which included complete information, not just the minimum, finally came online several weeks ago after years of anticipation by many.  And just as suddenly they have disappeared. It seems the Irish government was not aware of their appearance and because the records included living people, they have removed all the records.  I hope everyone looked up all their ancestors during their cameo appearance online. You can read all about it on Clare Santry's never-to-be-missed daily Irish genealogy blog where all the news seems to break first-- http://www.irishgenealogynews.com/  There are also full articles about all this on the free Irish Times website--    http://tinyurl.com/k58at8q So we continue to wait.  You can continue to order certs by snail mail.
