People   (Re-unions, trace old friends and relatives.)

Hi MarieM,the 1941 census can take you back before 1800 regarding births.I have been in contact through the internet with other people who are distant relatives and better at it than myself.One or two have produced trees back to 1700 which includes my family.I am aware of the Dublin fire and that lots of people of Irish descent only have Parish records to fall back on which usually means a trip to the Church at source.I have also accessed photographs of close relatives from the early 20th century and it is a joy to see these family members I never knew.I would love to spend an hour in the household of my Gt Grandad when all the pit lads were eating round the table.
