Researching ancestors in Ireland? Flex those typing muscles: Tomorrow, Jan. 24, Irish genealogy website findmypast.ie will let you access 21 million Irish vital records free in honor of its first Irish Family History Day.
This
according to the Irish news websites IrishCentral
and siliconrepublic.
The vital
records, new on the site, range from the 1800s to 1958.
Findmypast.ie
is a website from brightsolid publishing, which also operates findmypast.com
(US),findmypast .com.au
(Australia and New Zealand) and findmypast.co.uk
(England, Wales and Scotland), among other genealogy websites. When you visit
from the United States, you may get a pop-up suggesting you use the American
site, but you can just close it and carry on.
Also,
if you're in the United States, be mindful of time zone differences when you
plan your search session(s). Findmypast.ie is based in Dublin, which is five
hours ahead of the US East Coast.
Thanks to Ken Doane for this tip, who read his Family Tree Internet Newsletter earlier than I did this morning!
