Old Irish Newspaper Abstracts:

We tend to forget the things that so many people have done, especially in this day and age of advanced technology. Many of you don’t remember the days when the Irish Census returns were not on the internet, many of you don’t know about the days when you had to go to the Irish Civil Records office to get the references for births, marriages and deaths. Today, we can get those references if they exist on the internet (for the most part). We all forget so easily about how it was so hard back then and about what we owe to the dedicated people who transcribed material and put it up on the net for the rest of us to see.

"Ireland Old News" contributors:

Cathy Joynt Labath who I believe did most of the transcribing and who created the website.

Jim McNamara (and I think he told me recently it was 1999 we first met) and

Brian Magaoidh (both) who I am still in contact with.

Alison & Kathryn who I knew through lists.

Dennis Ahearne (RIP) who contributed so much to people researching their Irish ancestry.
