Registry of Deeds Index Project Ireland: latest update

Come Lockdown or High Water, volunteers of the Registry of Deeds Index Project just keep beavering away, extracting genealogial info from online* images of memorials and inputting it to the Project's database, from where it is made available, free of charge, to all family historians.

(The images are free to view at FamilySearch.org, so this important volunteer work can be carried out from any computer, anywhere in the world, provided it has a wifi connection.)

Earlier this week, an update of the database produced a new total of 402,531 index records extracted from 42,776 memorials of deeds. In addition, the Townslands and Grantors indexes have seen many new entries.

All these transcriptions are fully searchable for free via the link above.
