1926 Irish Census published

The 1926 census was published online on 18 April and provided me with a complete shock about my famaily history. Census details together with the completed census forms can be viewed using the link belowhttps://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-1926-census/

I think I will have months of research ahead of me to trace my paternal grandmother & maybe I might have to go to churches in Dublin to to search for baptism records and maybe a birth certificate.I put the link on my school whatsapp group & one former pupil of my year told the fascinating stories about relatives being shot by the Black & Tans. My own great uncle took part in the 1916 uprising.
