Got this e-mail today that I thought might interest those of you with Irish ancestry
Dear Carol

The IFHF member centres which have completed indexes of Irish census returns will shortly begin to make this data available online. Whether you are a family researcher or local historian the census data will be of interest to you as searching the census will help you discover more about your ancestry and grow your family tree.

The 1901 census is one of the earliest comprehensive surviving censuses in Ireland. The census contains valuable details on each family, i.e. the exact location of where a family is living in 1901, the occupations of each family member, ages, religious denomination and place of origin. Such information may assist you in finding more relatives to add to your family tree or provide you with a starting point for further research. Details derived from census records can help build a historical perspective, enriching the information in your family tree and bring your ancestry to life.

As part of this we are pleased to announce that the 1901 Census of Ireland records for Tipperary North are now available at http://tipperarynorth.brsgenealogy.com/
These records are transcribed copies of the original household returns, not digitised images. More information on the data available can be found here.

You will be notified as and when new data is added for other centres in the coming weeks.

Yours sincerely
IFHF
