* GENERAL INTEREST
Library and Archives Canada have the 1921 Canadian census on their website. Prior to yesterday only Canadians could browse the 1921 census for free due to a contractual arrangement with Ancestry.ca. Those outside of Canada had to have a subscription to Ancestry to access the census. Now that the 5 year agreement with Ancestry.ca is completed, where Ancestry assumed the cost of indexing the census, anyone may access the census for free. The census has information on 8.79 million people.
To read more about the census and search see: http://tinyurl.com/y79t5kgp

So many links! I can't imagine how much time you must spend on all of this!
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the one about the 1950s street photography in Dublin. I don't have the nerve to take pictures out and about in public today, but I really love looking at that type of photo.
Takes a while, but as I publish one, I'm researching for the next...
ReplyDeleteThose photos are fascinating aren't they... I'm glad you liked them, thanks for your comment.
Thanks for mentioning my blog article about Patrick Dwyer!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome... I look forward to reading more of your blog!
