This is an interesting newish website mentioned on one of the lists I subscribe to: A Calendar of Irish Chancery Letters, ca 1244-1509 The description on the site of the free data offered: The records of the Irish chancery were destroyed in an explosion in the Public Record Office of Ireland at the Four Courts, Dublin, in 1922. A Calendar of Irish Chancery Letters (CIRCLE) will provide a reconstruction of these important records. It will bring together all known letters enrolled on the Irish chancery rolls during the Middle Ages (1244–1509) using copies, transcripts and calendars ranging in date from the fourteenth to nineteenth centuries and located in various archival repositories in Ireland and the U.K. The final version of CIRCLE will be launched in June 2011. This site is a work in progress. Currently they have the the letters of The Reign of Richard II (1377-99). You can search or browse. I didn't have to sign in to browse, which is on the left (Browse CIRCLE). For those wanting names and history, you will find this site extremely interesting. http://irishchancery.net/ -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
