1911 Census Ireland- updated

[Dean1]

Got my husband interested in genealogy now since he viewed the Irish 1911 census this am and found just what he wanted!    I haven't seen the UK 1911 yet but I hope it is as good.

Hi all,

Just an update that the National Archive of Ireland has, in the last few days, added more counties to their online database. They now cover:

Antrim,
Cork,
Donegal,
Down,
Dublin,
Galway,
Kerry,
Kings County (Offaly),
Wexford,

and they hope to include the rest of Ireland over the coming months.

I did a search on my family in Cork a couple of days ago and (brilliantly) found them with no problem.

The archive can be found at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

Hope helpful,

Mick
