Right, Nivard. I should have said that differently - If you have a US subsctiption, it won't work. I must have a world subscription to get to the Irish collection. I too will check out the Library of Congress to see if I can get into that. Nivard said: I have the UK and have access If you have the US (.com) version you may not have access? Curiously there is another database suggested by Ancestry "Library of Congress Photo Collection, 1840-2000 " which they highlight as having Irish photo's in yet do not give access with a UK subscription which is odd Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
