FFHS-NEWS Civil Registration Bill 2007 Northern Ireland

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

The Northern Ireland Assembly's Finance & Personnel Scrutiny Committee (FPSC) has now completed the third stage of the Civil Registration Bill 2007 and released its Report. It supports Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations (CIGO) proposal that all future death registrations in Northern Ireland should record parents' names. In the Report's opening remarks, under the heading 'Key Conclusions and Recommendations', it says "The Committee welcomes the Department's commitment to give further consideration, when drafting the new regulations, to the proposal to extend the data recorded in death registrations to include the names of the parents of the deceased. The Committee recognises that this measure would benefit genealogical research and would bring Northern Ireland into line with RoI and Scotland in this regard. As such, the Committee looks forward to considering the new regulations in due course."
