Hello all, You may have heard on the news that the first phase of the digitisation of the 1901 and 1911 censuses comprising the Dublin Census Records 1911 has just been released and can be searched at: www.census.nationalarchives.ie The census images cannot be interpreted by Jaws, however, an index of every name and address that appears in the census can be searched which makes them particularly useful to Visually Impaired researchers. Needless to say this is a very exciting development for anyone interested in their family history as you can see from the below e-mail received this morning: "Congratulations and grateful thanks for a marvellous achievement. I am in New York and cannot tell you how exciting it was to be able to obtain access instantly to so much information about my family and the location where it came from. The information is also so well presented and easy to navigate. You have delivered a tremendous public service. Heartfelt thanks to all concerned."
