Updates on access to GRONI terminals in PRONI's search room

From the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni), an update on the General Register Office of Northern Ireland terminals that are available in the PRONI search room to access civil birth, marriage and death records (via https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk), including more recent records not available online:

We are pleased to announce that the 4 GRONI machines situated in our Search Room have now been replaced and are available for customers.

 

We ask that due to the potential demand that customers limit use during busy times to 20 minutes per person.

 

Thank you for your cooperation

I provide a detailed description on how to access these records at both PRONI and GRONI, as well as online, in my new book, Tracing Your Belfast Ancestors, details below! In summary, however, you still need to pay £2.50 per record, and you can't see the records when you go home, or print them out at PRONI, so you'll need to transcribe them. But having access to them in the same room as so many other records, is a godsend for those researching their Northern Irish ancestors!
