Counties not online
ID #1020
Why are some counties' records not online and how do I contact them?
Some counties in Ireland do not have an IFHF county genealogy centre or do not offer a genealogy service at the present time. The IFHF is working towards the goal of having all centres online and offering a full genealogy service. Some counties which are not online at present will be joining the Online Research Service in the coming months.
