Irish forum???

Post by Cetta »

I haven`t been around for a while. Just popping in and wanted to also visit the Irish genealogy forum and I see the link no longer works to the old site.

Does anyone have the web address??

Appreciated :D

None of the other websites (German Genealogy, Canadian Genealogy) are active anymore (with any URL). No reason has been given that I know of.
See this thread.

Wow, that is really sad for me. There was information on the Irish site re my Irish side that I never copied. It was quite detailed information that sks looked up for me re Baptisms and Catholic Church records re my gggrandfather`s family

Is there no way for me to access my threads there?

Is it just lost?

Oh I feel sick to my stomach.

I'm sorry. I tried the Wayback Machine (it archives websites) but they have no record of it. Google Cache doesn't work either, because the most recent cache is after the sites were shut down. You might try contacting Edmondo (the site admin), he may be able to retrieve the information for you. Other than that, I don't know.

Thanks so much for responding and trying the Wayback machine. I will contact him and hopefully there is some backup somewhere.

I am such an idiot for just leaving it there and not copying the information immediately.

There are no words for how I feel. I am so disgusted with myself!

Genealogy has a lot of those moments. For instance, when your great grandmother dies at 100 and you realize you never took the chance to ask her about her family.

Anyway, let me know if you're able to retrieve them.

I am new to this forum, however I have two links that may be able to help you find out more about your Irish heritage.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/index.html

I hope this helps you, like it did for my family history.
