Tracing my Ancestors

I went to a tracing your ancestors workshop in my local library. It was given by Mario Corrigan.
He gave lots of sound advice and some websites I didn't know about.

Mario says 'Use Google it is your friend' and when searching use the 'how to use' button when searching databases. Start searching for someone you know the details of to see how the website works. For example if you Search for Éamon de Valera on the census you won't find him because he in in it as Edward .

Is a monthly online magazine, they focus on a different county each month so look at their archives to see area you are interested in.

Even though your family might not be from Northern Ireland , if they lived or worked for an landlord there might be some useful information here.  http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/search_the_archives.htm

I love maps so http://maps.osi.ie is a great website to see what places looked like years ago. It's fun to see where your house is now when it was just fields.
