25% discount on 12-month sub to RootsIreland.ie

It's always a big deal when RootsIreland.ie offers a discount, and this one is no exception, with a 25% discount available now on 12-month subscriptions.

As most Irish family historians will already be aware, RootsIreland has the most complete and accurate set of online Roman Catholic church records. Those dated to c1880 link to the National Library of Ireland's online register images, where available.

Unlike most other online databases, however, RootsIreland's collection of transcriptions continues past these dates, in some counties and parishes continuing to 1920 or even later. 

The database, which is managed by the Irish Family History Foundation (IFHF), currently holds more than 23million records.

It is continually updated with records transcribed by genealogists working in the IFHF's network of 34 genealogy centres across the island. In 2020 so far, more than 500,000 records have been added from counties Limerick, Sligo, Kerry, Wicklow, Kilkenny and Westmeath, and South Dublin. 

Additional records from counties Kilkenny and Clare are expected to join the database shortly.l

To take advantage of the special offer, place your order by 11:59pm Irish Time on Thursday 10 December.

Advance notice (24 November): The website will be offline between 8 pm and 9 pm (Irish Time / GMT) on Thursday 26 November.
