Editorial / Trace Irish Relatives

 

We are pleased to announce that findmypast.ie has launched its Irish Newspapers Collection, making almost 2 million historical Irish newspaper articles from 1820 – 1926 available to search on the website!

Digitised from the collections of the British Library, the Irish newspapers collection on findmypast.ie is a rich resource for genealogists in search of their Irish roots - making it possible to learn what daily life was like for people in the cities, towns and villages across Ireland in times ranging from pre-Famine era right up until post-Irish independence in 1926. Overall date coverage for each of the newspapers is as follows:

·         The Belfast Morning News – 1857-1882

·         The Belfast Newsletter – 1828-1900

·         The Cork Examiner - 1841-1926

·         The Dublin Evening Mail – 1849-1871

·         The Freeman’s Journal – 1820-1900

·         The Sligo Champion - 1836-1926

This collection is also accessible on all findmypast international sites through a World subscription.
