Find My Past Blog - Spotlight on – New Irish & British Newspapers

[Family Tree Forum]

Fantastic news for family historians! We’re proud to announce the launch of our Irish Newspaper collection. Digitised in partnership with the British Library, Irish newspapers are a rich resource for genealogists in search of their Irish roots.
New British and Irish Newspapers

The collection features almost 2 million articles from 6 newspaper titles (both national and local) with dates covered by each title ranging from pre-Famine era right up until post-Irish independence in 1926. For family historians, the newspapers contain hugely valuable articles like advertisements, obituaries and letters to the editor which help to paint*a picture of the Irish lives of our ancestors.
To make sure those of you with ancestors on the mainland don’t lose out, we’ve also added new papers to our British collection from Dundee to Kent too.

• The Belfast Morning News 1857-1882
