Did all the records burn??
The short answer is No, but the truth is a bit more complicated, because much of Ireland's genealogical heritage did, indeed, go up in flames at the Public Records Office in 1922.
Discover which Irish records burned, and which survived, and how this may impact your Irish family history research.
Irish Genealogy News
Irish Genealogy News is my blog.
It's read by professional genealogists, individual family historians and pretty much everyone who wants to keep up to date with all the latest resources and developments in Irish family history.
In his Irish Times column, renowned genealogist John Grenham described Irish Genealogy News as 'absolutely essential for anyone who wants to know what’s happening in Irish genealogy'.
Check it out today, here.
After more than 10 years online, Irish Genealogy Toolkit is undergoing a facelift.
The process is taking some time. I started with 224 pages to convert. There are 30 left (November 2020), so the end is now in sight. Please bear with me during the ongoing transition.
I hope you like the fresh new design and will quickly become accustomed to the revised layout.
