For reasons best known to his good self the boss has decided to give us all a Christmas bonus this year, so after the wife has taken her usual percentage, and with a 12 day break on the horizon, and a few extra (unexpected) pounds in the back pocket I have decided to start to trace the Irish side of the family.
Can anybody that has already gone down this road please give me some pointers, what are the best sites to use, is it costly, are the Irish census forms the same, or similar to our census forms, what are the pitfalls, is there anything you wished you had known before you started your own searching.
You will probably be able to see from the above questions that I am indeed a complete novice, so any bit of help and advice will be much appreciated,
Windled.
