The Irish site offering free access to civil registration records, www.irishgenealogy.ie, has added an extra year's worth of records - you can now access birth records from 1922 (the first full years after Partition), marriages for 1947, and deaths from 1972.
The coverage available on the site is now:
- Births: 1864-1922
- Marriages: 1845-1947
- Deaths: 1871-1972*
(*Deaths from 1864-1870 have yet to be released)
Some things to note:
Record images are sourced from the registers held in Dublin, which are separate copies to those held in Belfast. In my new book, Tracing Your Belfast Ancestors, I show how occasionally there are discrepancies between the two sets of records.
Coverage on the site for Northern Ireland (Antrim, Down, Armagh, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Londonderry) is only up to the point of Partition, i.e. 1921. For post-1921 Northern Irish records, visit the pay-per-view site https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk.
