Free Irish Records on FindMyPast


Rick Wood has just sent a notice he received from FindMyPast. The website is allowing free access to their new collection of Irish Catholic Parish Registers from March 1-7.  Thanks, Rick.


Here's part of the announcement:

"We're excited to reveal the launch of 10 million new Irish Catholic Parish Registers on Findmypast today. Covering the majority of Ireland, this incredible record set includes 40 million names, 3,500 registers and over 1,000 parishes. To celebrate, we're making all 110 million Irish records free for everyone until 7th March."


They posted the following instructions:

1  Go to our dedicated search page
 
2   From here you can search across 10 million records by name, year and place, allowing you to make all important links between generations with the baptism records and between families with the marriage registers
 
3   Narrow down your results by entering the last or first name of your ancestor's spouse in the marriage records or the area your family was from in the baptisms

Good luck, everyone!
