GRONI has now developed a service where the public can search, select and purchase Genealogy records online.
This service will be available worldwide and will enable users to search the records at any time convenient to them.
The website had originally been planned to give in November 2013 but has been rescheduled for early 2014.

This will be an excellent talk as Alistair will be demonstrating the layout of the website, how to create an account, the fee structure and how to do a search.
Most importantly for all researchers, the date the service will go live.
Entrance fee is £1/ £3 members/non-members.
