Irish Census 1911 Available Online

The Irish Times has reported that a new database for Irish genealogy and research was yesterday released online by the National Library of Ireland. The free searchable version of the April 1911 Irish census contains information from the 32 counties and is searchable using any combination of name, surname, age, sex and place.
It gives access not only to a database of information but to images of the original census forms which would have been handwritten by the head of the household.
