Free Access to Irish Records on findmypast.com June 27-30
On
June 30 1922, during the Irish Civil War, the Public Records Office of
Ireland, located at the historic Four Courts in Dublin, caught fire.
Tragically a considerable amount of Irish records
were destroyed.
The
fire has had lasting effects – still felt today – as Irish family
history requires a unique approach to research than other heritages. To
commemorate this anniversary
and encourage exploration of Irish genealogy, findmypast.com
will offer its full collection of Irish Birth, Marriage and Death indexes
free of charge from
June
27 to June 30. Anyone searching for their Irish ancestors can access
the full Irish record collection by registering for free at
findmypast.com.
Despite
a great loss of records in the historic fire, there are still many
opportunities to discover Irish heritage, with countless fascinating
stories to be found
from the records that survived.
If you haven't checked these records online, this is an excellent opportunity to do so.
