I have put off the day when I had to tackle my father's side of the family, because apart from his own parents, all of his ancestors were either born in Ireland, or born in England to Irish immigrants within a year or two of their arrival here. The day has now arrived, and I have made a little progress using Rootsweb Ireland but in a very short experience with the site I have discovered 3 howlers in terms of mistranscription and I find it extremely expensive to use. Hence I have turned to Family Search to try to get either verification and/or to try to get close to an answer before having to pay for Rootsweb.
Can anyone advise me firstly how many Family Search sites there are at the moment? I see references to Old and New F.S., pilot and to beta. In what way do they differ, and is any one of them likely to be of more use to me for Irish births and marriages in the 19th century?
Any help will be most welcome.
