        It's all gone very quiet on that front. Hard to be patient!

            I don't see how this will help with everyday genealogy. It appears to be major historical records, manuscripts and government papers. Doesn't seem to be census records or any records to trace ordinary people.

              This could be interesting though it all depends what they come up with. There are thigs like family letters that have survived in the USA that were sent from Ireland which may have fallen into American collections and vice versa. We went to Trinity College looking at Land Registers and they were very informative manuscripts detailing famine times so if they came into this category that would be great. I know that some Thurles land records are in Cardiff and if they were to become available that would also be a bonus.There are famine manuscripts for all sorts of areas and I have been lucky enough to find some of my ancestors on 1851 remains of Census so yes I can see the possible value but we will just have to wait and see what comes up.
