Irish Times is expanding thier database. Follow this link to the news article: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/0911/breaking72.htm Here are a couple of quotes from the announcement: "Genealogists and those researching their ancestors should also find the site of particular interest. Birth notices, obituaries, social notices, court reports and inquests give considerable insight. Written in the language of the time, reports also reflect the social and historical background of daily life." "The site is accessible through http://www.ireland.com/search/ and pricing starts at €10 for a 24-hour pass. The official launch event will take place in the Mansion House on October 8th." Gail
