    Would anyone here have a phonebook from 1980's/1990's? I am trying to find a person who bought a house in Dublin suburb in 1978 and I believe is still there. PM please. Too lazy to arrange visit to Pearse Library to check their archives of same.

    Sorry I don't have a copy but I know that the GSI have old phone books. https://familyhistory.ie/about-us/

    Thoms from many 70s years plus 1980 and 1986 are on askaboutireland, but an absolute arse to search.

    Thanks Jellybaby, and for mention of GSI … I see they have a nice website now with links to videos of talks. I note that the archive is still located at the Loughlinstown place, still looking for a permanent home. I miss the flexibility of the Pearse Research room of old. Now an appointment has to be made to visit at certain times and no longer on Saturdays … and the cafe is gone!

    Yes the GSI is a great resource but darned awkward place for me to get to.
