Findmypast Friday: Trace stories from the Emerald Isle

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

==================================

Trace stories from the Emerald Isle

We've added two new Irish record sets this week, spanning 147 years. Within these census, directory and almanac records, you'll find over 170,000 images, helping you to trace family stories in startling detail. We've also bolstered our newspaper collection with 236,096 new pages.

Ireland, Directories and Almanacs 1844-1928

Explore Ireland's rich history from the Great Famine through the fight for home rule to the Easter Rising of 1916 and the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. Directories and almanacs are an incredibly valuable tool for researchers and genealogists as they help bring the past to life by tracing ancestors around the streets they once inhabited and knew.

Ireland National Census Reports 1926-1991

Step into the townland your ancestor knew. Census reports reveal how people lived, worked, and endured change within the places they called home. They are incredible sources for learning more about your ancestral homeland. These reports are available from the Central Statistics Office/An Phríomh-Oifig Staidrimh.


Chart late 20th-century British social and cultural history with our new addition, the Daily Star. We've added over 200,000 pages, spanning back to the title's first run in 1978.



Have you explored The London, Edinburgh or Belfast Gazette on Findmypast yet? These often-overlooked resources contain millions of records to help you piece together your family tree. From military awards to insolvency notices and first-hand accounts of some of the most significant moments in British history, The Gazette can enrich your ancestors' stories with new details.
