Hi all, I have just come back from an enjoyable talk given by Eddine Khaoury from the School of History in Queens University, Belfast. He is involved in a project whereby the details of 1911 Census pertaining to West Belfast may soon be on the internet. I have copied part of the blurb from the Queens site, which can be found at: http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/SchoolofHistory/Research/MajorResearchProjects/ Description of Project The details of every household in Belfast early this century are available in the census records in National Archives in Dublin. ...These census forms are a unique source for individuals exploring family histories as well as for local history groups and others, .. Among the wider issues illuminated by these records are people's occupations, age at marriage, family size, migration into Belfast from the countryside, levels of education, and the extent to which different religious groups lived side by side. ....The project offers a window on life in West Belfast in the years before the Great War and Partition. The major sources are the census returns for Belfast in 1901 and 1911, supplemented by photographs and street maps, as well as contemporary accounts of the lives of the people. The images and information will be placed on a special website, and will also be published in CD-rom form. I am sure everyone will support this project and I am looking forward to it being completed. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Better first dates. More second dates. Yahoo! Personals
