Griffith's names on Ancestry.co.uk
Griffith's Valuation of Ireland was originally a listing of properties, landlords, etc. for taxation purposes compiled by Sir Richard Griffith . Ancestry.co.uk is now providing online access to approximately 1 million Irish names in the collection, spanning the years of the Irish Famine (1845-1852). An important resource for anyone with ancestors who migrated about that time!

Do You Descend from Niall?
Oxford Ancestors, U. of Oxford have conducted DNA tests on men in Ireland and New York to test for genetic links to the Irish warlord, Niall.
The Niall line -- also Uí Néill or O’Neill -- ruled Ireland between the 7th & 9th centuries.
If your surname is O'Gallacher, Boyle, O'Doherty, O'Connor, Cannon, Vevlin, MCaul, Egan, or O'Reilly, you could be connected to this family!

KEW set to open soon
KEW is now the home of genealogical records formerly the charge of the Family Records Centre in London, UK and is set to re-open to the public soon. We hope the reorganization of resources will facilitate genealogical researchers with one-stop shopping for records previously held in both facilities.

Can we imagine a non-print world in genealogy?
Recently, the Guardian reported that researchers were no longer able to access paper records for Births, Deaths, and Marriages at the Family Records Centre (FRC) in London. Researchers have complained that the mirofiche alternative is unusable.
To see the article click here:

How are you managing with the removal of paper records from the FRC?

Do you still use libraries?
It is now widely believed that people turn to the Internet, rather than visit libraries in person. Indeed, in Ireland, there has been the suggestion that the Internet has influenced genealogy, with the outcome that visits to Ireland related to genealogy have declined.
However, a recently published Pew report in the USA, states that most adults still use libraries, challenging the belief that the Internet has reduced library use.
See:
Pew Internet & American Life Project Survey, "Information Searches That Solve Problems: How People Use the Internet, Government Agencies, and Libraries When They Need Help."
Available: http://www.pewInternet.org/PPF/r/231/report_display.asp.
What do you think of this survey? How do you use the Internet and/or libraries? Has the Internet reduced your use of libraries? Your visits to Ireland and/or Irish libraries/archives/institutions? Tell us about your last visit and when you plan to visit the Emerald Isle again.

Masterpieces of Creation
What do you do with your genealogical research? A web site, a database, a photo album, a book, a photo fridge magnet, etc. -- what becomes of the work you've done?
