As many as 100 million people all over the world are believed to have Irish ancestors, and that’s probably a good reason why MyHeritage and Ancestry are both providing free access to their Irish collections for a week.
MyHeritage is opening all of its Irish records for free to the public for one week, from March 11 to 18.
MyHeritage’s Irish record collection includes around 14 million records, such as census records, vital records, directories, and wills.
Ancestry’s Corporate Genealogist Crista Cowan announced yesterday during a Facebook Live presentation about Irish records that Ancestry is also providing free access to its Irish collections for one week, starting today.
It should be possible to find Ancestry’s records at www.ancestry.com/cs/stpatricksday.
