Irish and Scottish Ancestors

A new website hosted by the department of Arts, Hertage and the Gaeltacht at www.irishgenealogy.i.e includes nearly three million pre-1900 Catholic and Church of Irealnd records free of charge.

For a list of what records are covered visit www.irishgenealogy.ie/record_list.html

The Irish Genealogy toolkit at www.irish-genalogy-toolkit.com provides an introduction to Irish records.

The two surviving Irish census reurns (1901 and 1911) are available for free at www.census.nationalarchives.ie

For a trascription of Griffith's Property Valuation of 1847-1864 visit www.askaboutireland.i.e

For Scottish records, a good starting point is The National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk)   which has many free records including more than 700 digitised Post Office directories from 1773-1911 ( www.digital.nls.uk/directories )
