Exciting news!

Big news for all of you who are searching for your Irish roots: the 1926 Census of Ireland will be released online in April 2026! 🥳

This will be the first new census made public since 1911, offering a rare look at life in the 1920s. You’ll be able to search names, addresses, occupations, Irish language ability, and full household details. For many families, this long-awaited release will finally bridge the gap between the 1911 Census and modern records. 💚

If you’re tracing your ancestry, now is a great time to gather names, townlands, and family clues so you’re ready when it goes live.
More updates to come!

Please note: Northern Ireland census records are not included in this release.
