Not very good

not helpfull at all save your money sorry i ever paid for this got nothing i would have got for free anyway

I have been doing family history for 15

Terrible I could not even find records I could find free elsewhere Records I know exist wouldn t come up in the search I paid for a day and had searched everything available within 10 minutes Total waste of money

Not a very positive experience

Much better information on Irish Genealogy civil registrations and with a lot of patience and good knowledge of your parish the NLI church records for pre 1864 Lots of gaps Luckily I only joined for 24 hrs and found nothing new Also found it strange when I was asked if I knew where to apply for an Irish Passport on the Roots website Surely the passport office is busy enough without advertising it s services

They don t cover most of the Country

I have been doing family history for 15 years so know what I m doing I find roots ireland to be expensive It s limiting as you can only do a number of searches per subscription seems like a huge money making scheme and is not of help to us genealogists as you waste time clicking on matches only to find they are not the ones related to you but those incorrect matches come off your allowance Stick to Ancestry at least you can view what ever you want in the period you sign up Also Ancestry let s you view some things for free and you can still view your tree when you stop subscription Irishgenealogy ie is also a fantastic site which has free BDM certificates Half my relatives didn t even show up on roots ireland last time I looked I d say don t waste your money

Absolutely rubbish what I have found I

Not a very positive experience Sometimes nothing showing on known accurate information which is available elsewhere

What a waste of time and money

I purchased a months worth of service for 35 00 to do ancestry work It was not disclosed that this site does not cover entire regions perhaps in fire print but it s not evident if this is present I got on and there was no data for Louth I emailed the company and was told we don t cover some parts of Ireland I looked in the area of Cork and found out this area was sketchy too What kind of ancestry site for Ireland charges people money to look in only specific locations within Ireland - without disclosing that first They refused to refund my money and were not at all friendly I was raised to treat others as you would want to be treated It seems these folks were raised to be deceptive and greedy It s sad to see integrity is so low when it comes to doing business with an Irish based site and while 35 00 lost isn t a big deal it s the principle of it There is a free site that will give you everything you need Roots Ireland is a scam and a bait and switch operation and no one in that Country cares

Useless

Absolutely rubbish what I have found I have found previously for free and more Most of the documents I ve found for free I can t find Hardly any links to documents and doesn t show hardly any 1900 records I was expecting this site to be really good and it s rubbish what a waste of 26 My advice to you is don t waste your money You can t even search for the census for some areas such as Roscommon I am very very disappointed every other sites have access to Irish records other than Irish roots I was expecting hours and hours of researching and has turned out to be a couple of hours

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I was trying to track down my parents marriage certificate Both parents were born in Ireland and I have both their original birth certificates The site could not find their marriage certificate so I thought I would test it by searching for their birth certificate records I entered the information directly from my father s birth certificate Every part of the search form was filled correctly and the site could not find any record I did the same with my Mother s birth certificate and it had zero results A total waste of 15 Euros

CRAP DON T WASTE YOUR MONEY

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ROOTS IRELAND 125 AND DID NOT FIND ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION AVOID AT ALL COST DOESN T DESERVE ANY STARS
