Irish newspapers coming soon to the British Newspaper Archive

I've been advised that the first set of the new Irish titles coming soon to the British Newspaper Archives (www.britishnewspaperarchives.co.uk) site should be going online towards the end of August/early September.

The good news for Irish researchers is that I have been advised that the titles will be "from right across the island", with a team from FindmyPast Ireland and Eneclann carefully selecting content to fill in gaps in the records.

Now available for UK research is the new second edition of the best selling Tracing Your Family History on the Internet: A Guide for Family Historians, whilst my new book British and Irish Newspapers is also now out. And please consider purchasing the great new version of Caledonia by The Libations at 79p via www.caledonia2014.com - all profits go to help fund Scottish foodbanks
