It will be news to the people who work at the GRO Belfast that they do not
exist.

PRONI is on the outskirts of Belfast -- 66 Balmoral Avenue, Belfast BT9
6NY
the GRO is near Belfast City Hall -- Oxford House, 49/55 Chichester
Street, Belfast  BT1 4HL

They have very different records.  The GRO has BMD records -- see
http://www.groni.gov.uk/index.htm for links to order certs online.  PRONI
has too many records for me to categorize in a brief phrase -- see
http://proni.nics.gov.uk/records/records.htm for their links to info on
categories of records held.

PRONI is a very big space, where you do not need to make an appointment.
The GRO is a very small space, where you do need to make an appointment,
at least several weeks in advance.

Not for Northern Ireland, they're not.  Post-1922, the GRO Dublin only has
records for the 26 counties that now constitute the Republic of Ireland.
Post-1922 BMD records for NI are in Belfast at, yes, the GRO.

Now who's guilty of spreading misinformation?  Before you accuse someone
of being wrong, you should check your information more carefully.
