IRELAND RESEARCH - Video classes online on how to access records...
As mentioned at our last meeting on Saturday by Milli, this is the link to the videos detailing records from Ireland. Well worth watching ... these videos will use up your download quota very quickly if you have a 400MB limit, so if in doubt, view them at the Resource Centre if you are on dialup or limited broadband.
The website is Familysearch.org - http://www.familysearch.org
Go the tab called Research Help and choose Online Classes - there are many records, but the Irish ones I thought quite useful, especially for beginners.
This link should take you directly to the online classes page.
