Thanks for posting the 1911 Census. I think I found my family in it; according to the census form I found, my great grandfather Cornelius Sullivan--living in Kealagowlane, Adrigole in 1911--was born in 1839. I've been told that his father was named Florence, and there is a Florence Sullivan in the Griffith's Valuation for Kealagowlane. Has anyone else come across this Con or Flor in their family histories?

Hi, I have been pulling records off the Ireland National Archives 1911 census records left and right. You can view all the pages, print ect. there is no fee. Ireland and Canada went in on this project together from what I read. You can even search by location, such as the town, not just the name. It is wonderful!!!!

Hello Everyone, Thanks for all the help concerning how to add postage to a self addressed envelope that will be mailed back to me in the USA from Ireland. The IRCS ( International Reply Coupons) proved to be the easiest way to do it. The people at the USPS branch were vary nice in helping me out, but they really didn't know much about them. It took one 7 minute phone call, 3 people and 25 minutes more to transact the sale of 2 IRCS. The the letter to Fenit, County Kerry is on the way. I really hope that I get a response. I appreciate your help. Thanks again. Dan Harrington I received this info from An Post after I mailed the above letter. Stamps can be ordered online at http://www.irishstamps.ie/ Yours sincerely Noel Durnin An Post Customer Services
Nope, no jest. The Nairobi model was created by Luxembourg's Rob Van Goorand who is a graphic artist and was displayed in Geneva on August 8, 2008 at a meeting of the 24th Universal Postal Congress. I don't have a decent copy to send. If you know a local ham radio operator who gets the QST magazine, have him/her look on page 86 of the current issue where there's a small specimen of the IRC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Harrington" <danharrington1@comcast.net> To: <beara@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 5:36 PM Subject: Re: [BEARA] IRC's > Pat, > A new IRC called the NAIROBI MODEL, surely you jest!

A word about IRC/s (International Reply Coupons).... The current IRC's, with the Michelangelo "two fingers about to touch, framed in a postage stamp", costs $2.10 in the U.S. They are valid through December 31, 2009, and will no longer be available after August 31, 2009. In other words, they must be turned in to the post office by the end of this year, otherwise they'll be worthless. A new IRC called the Nairobi model are expected to go on sale on July 1, 2009 and should be valid until December 31, 2013. For further information contact your local post office. Pat

Sheila, be sure to bookmark it and check the main web site by the end of the year for the 1901 census. I'm afraid that will be all that will be available.

Thank you, Kevin, that helps me solve the problem! I know I had sent a money order to Riobard once, so I thought there might be some problem with personal checks.

Thus, I always know exactly how much it will cost me. What proportion of the funds become lost to currency exchange on the other side of the pond I cannot say, but I suspect it is much less than I would spend trying to get Euros here to send there. If you want to absorb the exchange fee, too, just bump up your donation by, say, 10%. That should about cover it. Also worth mentioning that Riobard O'Dwyer asks clients NOT to send a check drawn on a credit union. Perhaps he has had some delay or expense in the past when he received such a check from the states.
