The Census of 1926 for the Republic of Ireland has just been released. For various reasons, the Census which was taken in the six counties of Northern Ireland has been lost but perhaps you have people you want to research there.

My professional body, Accredited Genealogists of Ireland, AGI, have been to the forefront in promoting its availability and this article may be useful if you want to explore further.

I was on a pre visit to check out an ancestral home and make contact with locals who could add extra stories to my research. I had a very warm welcome and interesting time, with a day which had hail, rain and thunder. Certainly found somebody who was a collector of old items from the past!
