Just received this, so FYI

Dear Dave,
The 1641 Depositions for all of Ireland went 'live yesterday evening. There are still a few small teething problems but we should have those fixed in the next week or so.
Do let us know if you have any problems or feedback.

A short explanation of the database- "Fully searchable digital edition of the 1641 Depositions at Trinity College Dublin Library, comprising transcripts and images of all 8,000 depositions, examinations and associated materials in which Protestant men and women of all classes told of their experiences following the outbreak of the rebellion by the Catholic Irish in October, 1641..."

Note: if searching for Co. Londonderry see Derry.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
