2 Presentation structure The Problems What is available? Questions
3 Destruction of records 1922 Destruction of Public Records Office - Census - Parish Registers - Pre-1700 records Bureaucracy and WW1 Ignorance and lack of interest (Health boards, PLU, other admin records lost) Estate records lost Poor environmental conditions
4 Lack of public interest Slow pace of development of genealogy as a hobby in Ireland Lack of Irish public interest in the past Why? Too close to our history? Formation of national identity?
5 Irish Archives and Libraries Poorly funded Reflect government commitment to heritage! Lack of awareness of their commercial potential Situation getting worse, budgets cut by 20% and more last year
6 The Problems What is available? Questions
7 The main projects currently in Ireland The General Register Office The Irish Genealogical Project /irishgenealogy.ie The National Archives Public Record Office of Northern Ireland National Library Eneclann and findmypast.ie
8 The General Register Office Civil register of all birth, deaths and marriages from 1864 (non-catholic marriages from 1845). Project commenced in 1995 Relocated to Co. Roscommon Used OCR to capture printed indexes In 2001 abandoned OCR in favour of rekeying All births now digitised and validated. Marriages back to 1920, Deaths back to Everything else 90% done.
9 QA? Current delay: decentralisation ETA: maybe 2013/14/15? Delivery: a decision has yet to be taken about which, if any, of these records will be available online. Recent Report of Ombudsman. BUT: there s familysearch.org!
