Wicklow / Re: THOMAS LAWLESS WW! 1917
« on: Friday 15 March 24 13:49 GMT (UK)  »

I would say as he died of TB he may well of been Cremated not Buried otherwise the CWGC would know where he was Buried to erect his Headstone but none due but Commemorated on the Memorial instead.

As the first crematorium in Ireland only opened in recent years, Thomas would have been buried not cremated as he died in Ireland.

Technical Help / Re: New laptop opinion
« on: Thursday 25 January 24 23:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, thank you all for your replies and info. It's much appreciated. It's given me something to think about, and places to look for reviews.

In reply to Biggles, my max budget is c. €900. I want the laptop to have a decent amount of memory for photos, documents, online meetings, some games, a university course and of course, family history & software. It needs to be much faster than the current one, I've often turned the air blue while trying to do something on this one  >:( :(

Technical Help / New laptop opinion
« on: Sunday 21 January 24 22:33 GMT (UK)  »
I hope it's ok to post this.

I'm hoping to purchase a new laptop in the near future, to replace the very slow Lenovo I have, and would appreciate opinions from any of the knowledgeable people on this board.

I have seen a HP laptop which seems to meet my requirements. The details are: HP 250 G9 Intel core i7 512 GB. As I've never used a HP laptop, does anyone have an opinion on this, or are have any other recommendations?

Many thanks, frostyknight

I have a mouse in my flat :o
I thought I had seen something scuttling across the floor; but it was always out of the corner of my eye.
Got a better look this week. Have to buy a humane trap; and then think where to release the critter.

I bought a humane trap recently as my cat brought in a live mouse and then let it go in the kitchen  ;D. The trap worked, the little mouse went in 20 minutes after I set the trap. Hop you catch yours soon.

A very dull day here in Dublin, cold too but dry so far. I hope we don't get snow.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Tree from Dna
« on: Saturday 06 January 24 12:34 GMT (UK)  »
If they were RC  there won't be a civil marriage cert before 1864. It's necessary to find parish registers before that.

The Irish 1923 birth records aren't available yet, it usually takes a couple of months past the new year before the next batch are released.

In Ireland. GRO records involving  personal data are closed for the lifetime of individuals which is assumed to be 100 years. There also are GDPR regulations (e.g. Elector registers have been taken down from online). The 100 year rule also applies to the Census. There is a basis in law for this, it is not arbitrary.
Familysearch has done its own thing, transcribing GRO records over recent decades.

Indexes for Irish BMD's up to 1958 are on Ancestry and Familysearch.  Don't know if they're also on Find My Past.

The actual certificates are available to view, free, for births over 100 years ago, marriages over 75 years ago, and deaths over 50 years ago. Available on irishgenealogy.ie
