Irish Research videos from Familysearch.org

IRELAND RESEARCH - Video classes online on how to access records... 

As mentioned at our last meeting on Saturday by Milli, this is the link to the videos detailing records from Ireland. Well worth watching ... these videos will use up your download quota very quickly if you have a 400MB limit, so if in doubt, view them at the Resource Centre if you are on dialup or limited broadband.

The website is Familysearch.org  - http://www.familysearch.org

Go the tab called Research Help and choose Online Classes - there are many records, but the Irish ones I thought quite useful, especially for beginners. 

This link should take you directly to the online classes page.

Do you have Irish Jewish ancestry?

Stuart Rosenblatt, former President of the Genealogical Society of Ireland, has developed the Irish Jewish Family database of over 70,000 names, from 1700 to the present. There are up to 70 data fields for each person. Most of these people were Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe, whereas prior to 1700, most were Sephardic Jews fleeing persecution from the Spanish Inquisition.
