Been a busy time and not had the chance to catch up on my research. Some good news today though! A 10th tranche of records from the Military Service (1916-23) Pensions Collection has been released today by the Military Archives in Dublin: irishgenealogynews.com/2021/05/milita#IrishGenealogy #IrishAncestors

So today I found my great granduncle’s headstone in France, he died in WW1 in 1916. He was in the Royal Dublin Fusilers.

Update from Claire Santry @Irish_Genealogy
Genealogy records and headstone photographs from five counties were added to the free, online Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives (IGPA) during April. There’s a summary below.
With Lockdowns easing across the island in the next few weeks, many family historians will be heading straight to the reading rooms of libraries and archives for a serious research fix. But for those who’d like a genealogy fix that helps other researchers, and gets your lungs full of fresh air, why not use that much-needed freedom of movement to photograph the headstones of a nearby burial ground?

Post Service Appointments Books, 1831-1969: full of Irish workers
An Ancestry World Archives Project (WAP) — UK Postal Service Appointment Books, 1737-1969 — was recently updated by Ancestry. No description of what’s been updated has been provided, but this seems a suitable opportunity to bring to researchers attention this potentially useful collection for Irish family historians.

So a trip to the cemetery yesterday to find a headstone of two more relations, not happy about a woman who was there and had a dog not on a lead, the dog was roaming around (not dogs fault) respect should be shown, complaint is going to be made. Now back to researching!

Below is a summary of new and updated family history record collections for England, Scotland and Wales released by the major genealogy databases over the last week from Irish Genealogy news website, a wonderful resource.
