The buzz in the genealogy community last week was about a new effort to reconstruct many of the records lost in a fire that destroyed the Public Records Office of Ireland in 1922. The records included the Irish censuses of 1821 through 1851 and over half of the Church of Ireland birth\/marriage\/death registers.<\/p>\n

Though most of my mother\u2019s side of the family traces its lineage to Scotland, one of her ancestors, Jane Hannah, was from County Antrim in northern Ireland. The Hannah family came to America in 1835. Records of the family in Ireland prior to their emigration don\u2019t appear to exist and were undoubtedly destroyed in the fire.<\/p>\n

There is some hope that traces of their lives may now be resurrected through the \u201cBeyond 2022\u201d initiative, an effort to reconstruct seven centuries of Ireland\u2019s lost history. An informative and entertaining video concerning the initiative is at Trinity College\u2019s \u201cBeyond 2022<\/a>\u201d web site.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also hope that additional information concerning my wife\u2019s Brown family ancestry will surface. They, too, were from County Antrim.<\/p>\n

In the interim, and in sober memorial of our Irish\u2014albeit northern Irish\u2014heritage we\u2019ve bought a case of Guiness stout to toast the upcoming St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration and cheer on the Beyond 2022 effort. Sl\u00e1inte!<\/p>\n
