A family case is not three separate cases.
Three brothers. One Irish-born maternal grandfather. One living mother. The Cooke family needed seven U.S. records across New York City, Boston, and Cook County — not fifteen separate orders.

Not because we are cheaper. Because we build the case that way from the start.

Coordinated filing changes what the family has to buy.
Four of the seven U.S. records belong to the shared lineage. Ireland permits siblings living in the same country to submit separate Foreign Birth Registration applications using one shared document set.

Her mother does not need Foreign Birth Registration.
Born abroad to an Irish-born father, the brothers' mother has been an Irish citizen since birth. Her next step is a first Irish passport. A generic records service could sell her an entire FBR document set she does not need; a case built around the family relationship sees the difference before anything is ordered.
The $15 New York City marriage record is the wrong record.
New York City also issues a $35 extended marriage record for foreign use. Foreign Birth Registration requires the extended version. Order the $15 domestic record and the problem appears later, when the consulate reviews the packet.
Seven records. Three issuing authorities. One deliberate set.
New York City Clerk, City of Boston, and Cook County issue the U.S. records in this case. Their published government fees total $126. Heritage Passport identifies the exact record version and the relatives who can share it before the first request goes out.
