Quite willing to pay for certificates and documents etc., but also like to get the best bang for my buck, as I'm sure we all do.
Wrote off a quick note to a link with the Donegal Ancestry site inquiring about what area I would have to look around to find my ancestors on the 1901 and 1911 census. Was planning on ordering the films from the FHC (or wherever) once they became available.
Got a note back saying she had taken a quick look based on the info I had provided and she could send me a transcript copy of the 1901 and of my GGgrandmother's death (I have no idea when she died) - all for the princely sum of 20 euros each (with exchange - $65 total).
She never did mention where, save to say they were still around where they got married. That doesn't help - there are so many areas/districts I wouldn't know where to start.
Plus, for $65 I would like at least a copy of the original documents rather than transcripts.
Do you think the GRO (or equiv) would have the same/original records for less? I knew the price for Ireland would be more, but am trying to spend my money wisely.
