We have just published our 50th ‘small sources’ blog. The original idea for these arose because occasionally in our research projects for clients we come across lists of names that are too small for the big indexing companies to put on line. Yet these lists could be vital to someone’s research. So we publish them as blogs. There are now over 5,000 individuals included. They are mainly tenant farmers (with information on residence etc), but also servants, tradesmen, labourers, schoolchildren, paupers and flax-growers. We have also added brand new baptismal and marriage records for Gorey, Co. Wexford in the period 1783-1807. So far, they are from 19 counties (the approximate locations of each are shown on the map above) and the time periods range from 1712 to 1856. We would greatly appreciate hearing from any of you who have made a connection with a person on one of these lists. So far only a few have done so. Remember also that we offer a free one-hour consultation from one of our professional researchers to pursue further information in any of the sources listed. Just click here and tell us about the record of interest. If you wish to do the research yourself, we publish a series of acclaimed ‘how-to’ guides on research in various counties. See here, and also at the end of this blog, for further information on our titles.
The blogs are listed below by county with a link to each.
