  2. Seven centuries of mainly Anglo Norman, English and British archives of their colonialism and imperialism against Irish people.

  3. Was really excited to read this until I saw the one area I’d be fascinated to see, pre-Famine census data, isn’t part of the recovered data. I’d love to know what the population and distribution was like where my grandparents grew up, it always felt like an abandoned village of hundreds but has a few dozen now.

  4. The ira had it coming, picking up fixed positions like 16? Did they not learn lmao. So they held up the four courts and found out. Unfortunately losing all of our historical records up until 1922.
