The database of Ireland's landed estates and historic houses for Connacht and Munster, 1700-1914 is back online after a hosting move: irishgenealogynews.com/2022/04/landed… #IrishGenealogy #IrishHistory
Although progress looks likely to be glacial, this will eventually be a hugely valuable resource for Irish history and genealogy. Great news!

I wondered how quickly this would come up and I hadn't bet on an hour after I took over the account. The ethnicity elements of DNA tests are (unfortunately) not accurate: they're a marketing tool. I've got a thread planned on this too.

Small but mighty. Invented in 1899 the humble #paperclip can be found in its thousands in any archive. Unfortunately, they don't age well and can rust & cause damage to paper. This is a good solution to keep the pages together, brass paper clips + a small fold of paper. #EasyTips

One of the youngest people I've ever found recorded in the census. This is from 1891 and they only just made it in time...!
The Galway Express newspaper has been added to the British Newspaper Archive: irishgenealogynews.com/2021/05/histor…. It was published weekly on Saturdays in Galway City. Editions uploaded to the online archive (shared with FindMyPast) span 1853 to 1897. When complete it will extend to 1920.
