Tips & tricks for Irish family history research

29/09/2026

Looking forward to this in Baldoyle next week. The library has a beautiful (distracting!) sea view from their lecture room.

The 1926 census was released on 18th April 2026, one hundred years to the day it was taken. It was the first census taken in the Irish Free State and as such, it has huge value for social and family historians. Between it and the previous census of 1911, Ireland experienced World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, and of course, independence and the partition of the island. This talk will discuss the historical context of the 1926 Census, demonstrate how to use it and how to follow on to other genealogical research.

Join Claire Bradley as she helps us navigate these incredible resources for family history research at Baldoyle Library on Tuesday, 6th October @6.30pm. To book contact Baldoyle Library at: 01 8906793 or email [email protected].

Hot off the presses: the latest edition of Fingal Studies will be going out to all Fingal Libraries next week. This features my article on the La Mancha murders, which I'll also be speaking about on Saturday 3rd October (and likely another future date, as it's proving very popular).

Highly recommend this course, which I took 7 years ago now. It led to the creation of the Pro-Am Genie network, which now has around 100 members.
