Ron, Presumably you have a National Library readers Ticket. (Anyone may apply from all over Australia. See the NLA website.) Go to NLA webpage and to "EResources" and a whole new world opens up including Dublin Freeman's Journal - no fee -, and many many other records which will make a genealogist's heart jump. (A few of the records are available only on site at the NLA.The web site explains all this.) Be aware that the NLA's Dublin Freeman's Journalis a copy of what is held in the British Library. So, for example, 1822 is not included, alas. A more complete set is on the Irish newspapers website, available for the last year or so, but for a fee. (Irish authorities see the great Irish diaspora as a cash cow to be milked!)

Frank, This is a commercial enterprise that the newspaper owners (who presumably own the copyright) have done, not the Irish Government. -----Original Message----- From: aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-pt-jackson-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Frank Murray Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 12:10 PM To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [PJ] Dublin Trial Records Ron, Presumably you have a National Library readers Ticket.

Hi Frank Is this the website you mean for the "Irish newspapers website?" http://www.irishnewsarchive.com/ If so it still doesn't cover the years I am interested in 1828 and 1837 for the Freemans Journal so maybe also a copy of what is held in the British Library???
