Just had an email from Irish History Foundation.

I have found some of my ancestors's siblings one here last year so it seems that the might have improved the system now. It is 'pay per view' system.


The Advanced Search facility is now available on All Ireland Searches on the main search page of www.rootsireland.ie.

Please note that counties Limerick and Sligo do not participate in the Advanced Search facility and will be excluded from the results of an Advanced Search on the All Ireland site.

The Advanced Search facility is also available for each county centres' data with the exception of Co. Limerick and Co. Sligo.

The Advanced Search adds a number of fields to the search criteria for Birth/Baptism and Marriage records and changes the way you pay to view the full details of these records.

Additional Search Fields - Births/Baptisms
In addition to all the search fields in the Standard Search you can now search by:

Mother's First name
Mother's Surname
Combining this with the Father's First name and Surname should enable you to find all siblings within the same family.

Additional Search Fields - Marriages
In addition to all the search fields in the Standard Search you can now search using any or all of the following:

Spouse's First Name
Spouse's Surname
Father's First Name (please note that the names of parents may not been recorded in the original record)
Father's Surname
Mother's First Name (please note that the names of parents may not have been recorded in the original record)
Mother's Surname

When using the Advanced Search option you cannot purchase individual records unless only one match is located. You will be able to purchase the entire record set located at a reduced cost. By entering as much detail into the search form as possible you can narrow your search to produce as few as matches as possible. You can then decide to purchase all these records at a reduced cost.

Before you undertake an advanced search please consult the SOURCES for the county you wish to search to see what data is available to search online.

When you perform a search using the Advanced Search facility the number of matching records located relating to the exact search criteria entered by you will be displayed, e.g. 2 matches, 3 matches, 10 matches etc. It will not display any details pertaining to the records.

Sounds like a good one for me. Thank you:)
