This will be amazing. They are building a 3D model of the 4 courts, and the records, or their substitutes ( 2 years of Irish Research at GRIP has shown me how many are available) will be "placed" on the shelves.
Anyone have access to marriage records for St Josephs cathedral for Dec 1868?

I’m curious if anyone has read any tales like this? Speaking of Genealogy I find it fascinating the stories that are regional in Ireland depending on where the family came from. My family is from Glengad/ Dooncarton in co. Mayo (-and other surrounding areas but the most recent is from that area), and there is a little hendge there, circle of little stones, there is also an area I was asking my great uncle about called Rosies Bed in Gaelic/ Irish. Without knowing the context you’d just think oh that’s a formation of stones but the people of the land had a story for each and every thing; why language and place names are so important. All of these stories are important because they shaped the beliefs of our ancestors. They lived their lives according to certain practices and beliefs much like a lot of other countries. Even thinking about how to help a sick person the story’s and beliefs could be handed down from generation to generation from the old ones.
