Sorry I think it is outrageous that they expect to have a Gathering, but yet will not make the records available so that people can connect. I think at least they owe that to their Diaspora?

I and a lot of friends sat in anticipation of this 'event' but were sadly very disappointed! 21 million Irish records you can access free for one day? NOT free - you get 50 credits (5 to 10 searches) and NOT records - just an INDEX to the civil registrations.....which has been available free on other websites for a couple of years now. Sad :-(

I think you'll find all this information is already online for free and the only reason it's being celebrated in those other countries is because findmypast have online presence there. Alfie
