Irish Genealogy

The Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in Ireland has just relaunched a portal to Irish genealogy with IrishGenealogy.ie. It has recently introduced a new search facility to assist in searching Irish family history. The site also provides information for people just starting their search and provides links to potential sources of information available online. The aim is to make it quicker, easier, and less complicated for members of public - from home or abroad - to find information about their ancestors. From here you can access 1901 and 1911 census information, Griffiths Valuations, Tithe Applotment Records, Soldiers Wills, Military Archives, National Photographic Archive from the National Library of Ireland, Ellis Island records, and Ireland - Australia Transportation database.
