Burned Irish Records

So on several FB and Twitter feeds I follow there has been a big flurry of folks talking about alllll those burned Irish records - hmmmmm ... this usually happens when there is a whole lot of new genealogists joining in ... and that's GREAT!! BUT. They need to be educated, gently. haha So Claire Santry has written and still runs her magnificent Irish blog and she has addressed this here https://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/irish-records-burned.html

And don't just read that one article. Look around. Press some new buttons. Learn. ENJOY!!
