* FIND MY PAST

As promised, last week's new releases, which I didn't post as the whole site was FREE for the weekend.

* The newest additions include titles from several counties as well as a national publication – The Evening Freeman. They cover a broad period in Irish history from 1836-72.

Five newspapers have also been added to with supplementary articles. They include substantial updates to Belfast Commerical Chronicle (135,813 new articles), Clare Journal, and Ennis Advertiser (61,194 new articles) and The Pilot (17,721 new articles).
