Registry of Deeds Index updates and moves address

The Registry of Deeds Index Project has received its first update of 2015 and now holds 167,089 entries from 19,722 memorials of deeds.

The Index is free to search and is always on the lookout for volunteers to details of more records.

Canberra-based Nick Reddan, who created and manages the Index Project, has also moved the database to a brand-new host and custom url. The new address is http://irishdeedsindex.net/index.html.

The old web url (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~registryofdeeds/) will continue to operate as a standalone for a week or so but Nick will then redirect it to the new address. While that arrangement should operate seamlessly, it's best to change your bookmarks/favourites as soon as you can.
