TheGenealogist releases c.1m Irish records
TheGenealogist has just released records of baptisms, marriages and burials from Wexford Catholic Parish Records and new Dublin Will and Grant Books to provide a valuable resource for those researching Irish ancestry.
The Dublin wills are from the Deputy Keeper of Ireland, Index to the Act or Grant Books, and to Original Wills, of the Diocese Of Dublin 1272 -1858 (26th, 30th, and 31st Report) and cover an area that is bigger than the current County of Dublin as the diocese included a sizeable part of County Wicklow, some substantial parts of southern and eastern County Kildare, as well as smaller portions of Counties Carlow, Laois (Queen’s County) and Wexford.
The Wexford Parish records, which have been released at the same time, have been newly transcribed by TheGenealogist and also benefit from the site’s SmartSearch which enables subscribers to look for the parents’ potential marriage records from baptism records, as well as potential siblings. Each result also has a link to view the registers on the National Library of Ireland’s website should the researcher wish to see an image of the actual page of the Catholic parish register.
This new release, now available to all Gold and Diamond subscribers of TheGenealogist, will be a useful resource for those researchers who wish to find out more about their Irish ancestors.

TheGenealogist’s unique Lloyd George Domesday Survey record set with the release of the 1910 Land Survey records for the areas of Barnes, Hampton, Richmond upon Thames, Teddington and Twickenham.
Family history researchers can combine these with other records such as the 1911 Census, and Trade, Residential and Telephone directories to discover more about where their ancestors lived c.1910. The IR58 Valuation Office survey records give researchers additional information about their ancestors’ home, land, outbuildings and property.
These occupier and ownership records can be searched for using the Master Search at TheGenealogist or by clicking on the pins displayed on TheGenealogist’s powerful Map Explorer. This means that the family historian can see how the landscape where their ancestors lived or worked changed over time.
Only available online from TheGenealogist, these records enable the researcher to thoroughly investigate a place in which an ancestor lived even if the streets have undergone massive change in the intervening years.
