Millions of Irish BMD's added to FMP today

[Loopy Linda in La La Land]

Coverage of the records is as follows:

Births: 1864–1958
Marriages: 1845–1958
Deaths: 1864–1958
Government (civil) registration of marriages began for non-Catholic marriages in 1845, for Catholic marriages in 1864, and for births and deaths in 1864.

From 1864 to 1921, the birth, marriage and death records cover all 32 counties in Ireland. From 1921 to 1958 they cover the Republic of Ireland, excluding Northern Ireland.

I looked for a Civil Reg death record that is indexed on familysearch (the familysearch index source is the index of the Irish Civil Reg): FMP had the same index of the index, and unfortunately didn't have the actual record. Sigh. Of course, Familysearch's records don't cover as many years.

I read somewhere last week that there would be another FREE CREDIT offer today (40 or 50 credits) to coincide with the release of these records so keep an eye out

Out of interest I looked up three of my Franklins I know were born in Ireland, as I already have transcripts
None of them appear on the FMP index

I havent found much either Trevor :(

i need northern ireland after 1921. typical lol.

[pejay]

I am afraid I haven't found anything noteworthy either. They may have added millions of Irish records to their base - but unfortunately as far as I am concerned they are the wrong ones. :(

[Sunny Rosy]

That's good news but not early enough for me I'm afraid.

These records added appear to be just the Vital Records which are very few in number as far as IRISH BMD go, so we will no doubt have to wait a bit longer for the real BMD to arrive on this site! I have found nothing either! The earliest you will find will only be for Protestant Marriages 1845 and not so many of those. Most statutory records will only start from 1864 for BMD, otherwise you are into Parish records.
