Off for a look.

Lovely. Sadly the two I'm looking for are not there but ther are a few with the same name!! Its a start anyway - I hope Ancestry will continue to make inroads into these records!

Nothing much there for my lot in Dublin.

[Mary from Italy]

Nothing for me, either.

Like a lot of Ancestry's databases this one is very irritating, because it doesn't tell you exactly which areas or dates are covered.

its not very helpful is it ? will they be updating it with more detail ?

Infuriating as per ancestry. Pretty useless for mine anyway. It is mainly the indexed ones from 1845 that come up, stilll pretty useless for the parish records!

I will stick with FMP.ie as they are much more useful, and will be even better as time goes by.

I wouldn't go that far - some Ancestry databases are very good. It's just annoying that you can waste time searching for a parish that may not be there at all for the dates you want.

As far as I can tell it's only Meath & Westmeath.

I've just looked this to double check some of the entries I got from the Dublin and Belfast records offices in April but unfortunetly Ancestry don't seem to have got all the indexes as 90% of the BMD entries I got in April are not listed. And I've just renewed my subs BAH!
