Family history nerds...1921 census out today :-)

Oh yes, I am one too!

Anyone else glued to their computer screen tonight, digging out that elusive ancestor?

If you are as obsessed as I am, you might be too glued to even notice this post , lol.

I just found my 2xG grand father, Patrick McNally and after a two decade wait find out he was born in 1853 in Greenlough, co Derry. Oh wow a lead on his baptism. FINALLY! Woo...wooo...wooo. My cousins will be so happy.

What were your finds?

Oh cool that's interesting. I didn't know you could find out about past relatives that far back. I'll look in to it and see what I can dig up. Not sure how to do it actually but I'll try to work it out.

:-) and a lot further back than that. Work birth to the marriage to the birth. That's the key. So your birth cert has your parents names, so you find the marriage, which has their father's names and their ages, which leads you to the birth etc... Meanwhile, the census from now 1921 back to 1841 will give you a 10 year snap shot of the whole family.
