Hi, You would need to leave enough time for research. Sometimes, the material you need, ie, books at the GRO may be in use by others. I have often spent a full day at the National Library or the GRO waiting on a que. Really, you should leave a day for each research venue. If you get done quickly, there's allways more sights to see in Dublin. For instance, if you got out of the NL earlier than expected, Trinity College is closeby. Allways take ID with you when researching, the archives require this. A 78 or 78A bus can be caught near Trinity, this will take you to Christchurch+Guiness further along the same road. You must put your hand out or the bus will not stop if no-one is alighting+you'll need exact change. Maggie

Thanks for that advice Maggie. I have been to the Kew National Archives in Surrey, England and they can be the same. You find the ref no. , take it to the desk, they give you a device that rings when they have found your record. Could take 10 minutes could take 30 minutes depends on the queue and where the record is to be located. You then get a whole box to sort through to find the record relavant to you. I guess it would be the same with the National Archive of Dublin. The bus number helps a lot. I would love to go to Trinity College to see who attended there by the name of Place. We have one George Place who became a barrister. le was a pensioner student with a father named John who was a farmer. There should be more folk by the surname Place, unless other colleges and universities in the area. Thanks, even though your reply was to the other lady enquring.
