January update to Irish Registry of Deeds index Project

The free Registry of Deeds Index Project has passed two milestones with its latest upload. The main Index has grown to 530,671 entries and these have been gleaned from 55,012 memorials.

The Project is entirely managed by volunteers; with images of the memorials now freely accessible at FamilySearch.org, indexing this priceless collection no longer requires visits to the Registry in Dublin. If you would like to be part of the volunteer team – you index at your own pace, as and when you have the time – you'll find plenty of advice on the Project's Home Page (click the counter image right).

To give you an idea of what's involved, you might like to view this month's featured memorial (see bottom right of double page spread) and the newly indexed entries it has yielded.
