    The ESB are putting some of their archive online. It is more on the nuts & bolts of electrification, good photos, etc. rather than people records. From a social history perspective (rather than a pure genealogical one) there is an interesting map which shows when the different rural areas were switched on and what was involved. It might be nice for some to know when granny got her washing machine and granddad a milking one!

    My grandad was involved in all sorts of pylon madness for rural electrification! Hopefully there's something of him in the mix here!
