And Now There are Three: Irish Census Records
Most of the 19th-century Irish census records were destroyed, making the surviving 1901, 1911, and 1926 enumerations invaluable for genealogists. This presentation explores the history of Ireland’s census, examining how these three complete record sets capture families during pivotal decades of change.
Note: The 1926 Irish Census will be released 18 April 2026. Presentations before that date will help you prepare for the release.
