Irish Genealogy and History Links for October

www.Irishroots.com   The Irish Roots Cafe

Random Links
Today I am sharing a few links of  interest
that I came across in October.  It still amazes
me that ‘millions’ of records are regularly
being advertised on genealogy web pages.

Millions of genealogy records now.
That’s because when I first typed in a search
for Irish genealogy, (decades ago), only two
or three hundred sources came up on the
search engines, with scanty information.

Todays Links
Here are todays curious links:
