Those who have been using FindMyPast.ie at the Local Studies Department, Watch House Cross Community Library will be delighted to hear that we are now providing free access onsite to Find My Past’s ‘World’ subscription.
In addition to the wide range of specifically Irish historical and genealogical records previously available, researchers can now also access an enormous collection of similar records from the UK, the USA, Canada, and Australasia which directly relate to the Irish Disapora. These include:
- Birth, marriage and death records
- Census records (including the UK census [1841-1921] and US Federal Census [1790-1940])
- Electoral lists and social directories
- Immigration and naturalization records
- Military records
- Occupational and institutional records
Smaller collections of records from some other countries are also available.
