Dear List I thought I would introduce you to this mailing list..It has been established only 5 months ago... .I know some of you don't want to join anymore lists at the moment, but the benefit of the "group" mailing list is, that you can also keep up with the messages in 'no-mail' mode as well as digest mode.. One of the big benefits of this list is, the list owner actually lives in Ireland and knows so much about what information is available... The database also has documents posted which assist with Genealogical research in Ireland.. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-IRL/ This group is for those who seek information on their Irish ancestors. Many begin to research their ancestry looking for names to link to and find over time that they become interested in the lives of those ancestors, the people they were. Ireland Genealogy will hopefully provide information from Irish archival records as well as information from other countries provided by researchers around the world. It is hoped that those of the Irish Diaspora and those who live in Ireland will come to learn more about being Irish through this group - as well as finding genealogical information in the strictest definition of the word 'genealogy' Best of luck in your searches..
