----- Original Message ----- From: Steven Smyrl To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2008 2:21 AM Subject: IRISH 1926 CENSUS Dear Friends of CIGO, Just a quick note to thank you for your support for the Council of Irish Genealogical Organisation's (CIGO) campaign to open the Irish Republic's 1926 Census. Access to this valuable resource, the first census taken after the foundation of the State, will prove to be of immense help to those seeking ancestors born in Ireland before the commencement of civil registration in 1864. We currently have nearly a 1000 signatures already gathered, but we still need many, many more if we are going to achieve success with the campaign. If you haven't already done so, then PLEASE pass on our need for signatures to everyone you know and ask them to do likewise. We really need this campaign to spread like wild-fire, nationally and internationally. You can access the petition here: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/1926C Success will not be achieved without public support, so please join us today! With warmest good wishes, Steven Smyrl Executive Liaison Officer, CIGO www.cigo.ie -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
