Family history from 1916 to 1923

dmullins3 · 2011-07-08 23:46:27

I've recently started doing a family tree of one side of my family. I've been trying to track down Irish witness statements from the Easter Rising, War of Independence and Civil War. Anyone have any ideas how or where I could go about getting copies of these to view - either online or in person? It would be a huge help.

The Military Archives, Cathal Brugha Barracks, Rathmines, Dublin 6 looks after this material.

Always worthwhile posting the names of those you're researching as others here might have information about individuals. The link to check first is :

There are a couple of statements online at the NLI
