    Just discovered the online electoral registers for 1908-15 were taken down back in March (maybe everyone here knew this already). Can only be accessed in person at Pearse St library now. So dissapointing.

    Thank you, the information is only four years more than the census but everything helps .

    Not an expert, but if your ancestors were Catholic, the ideal FMP records for you are the Roman Catholic Parish baptism, marriage and deaths records. Free to browse on nli.ie but indexed on FMP.

    Drove myself (more) mental trying to find a family on the 1911 census.

    Had a lightbulb moment and there they were, as Gaeilge.

    It took me quite a while before the lightbulb came on.

    I don't know if this is limited to certain areas only but as of this evening, Ancestry is offering free access to its Pro Tools through 3 September. I am in the US and do have a worldwide membership, if that makes any difference. It's the first time I've seen such an offer.

    Where did you see that offer Virginia?

    Was it on the website or was it mentioned elsewhere?

    I'm not seeing it either via the .co.uk site or the .com site.

    It appeared on my Ancestry page yesterday evening when I checked my matches, which I do several times a day. It was just there in my matches. I didn't have to click on anything to apply it. Pro Tools are free thru 3 September as well as a 30% off the usual price offer for Pro Tools, also thru 3 September. I would have to sign up for that offer.

    I have texted several cousins here in the US to see if they have it but haven't heard back yet.

    I've seen it mentioned in some FB groups today - available on the .com only, but not sure if that means you can just avail if you log in there.

    I am paying for it all the time: it's fantastic.

    The offer seems to be for some only. My cousin, also in the US, didn't get it. She did get an offer to upgrade at a discount.

    Just wondering if anyone has heard about work being done on the irishgenealogy.ie website. It was down on Thursday night, was fine last night, and now it's down again this morning. Thanks.

    Haven't been researching much the last couple of days so hadn't noticed any issues.

    Thanks @Hermy. I still can't get into the site. Hopefully it will be back again soon.

    I've just tried it now and no joy.

    Hopefully they sort it out early Monday.
