Great talk and demo last night given to the Irish Family History Society by Brian Gurrin of the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland about the census records in the VRTI. Very interesting insights for #Genealogy and #FamilyHistory research!

The Director's tour of the National Library #NLI was fascinating last night. It's such a great resource for #FamilyHistory and #Genealogy research. Fabulous collections donated from estates and families. I can't wait to get back for my next research visit!
