What's New in Irish Research
2026-03-21 14:00 - 17:00 | Central Rappahannock Regional Library Main Branch, 1201 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401, United States
If you are researching Irish families, what is new and moving and shaking? We will look at the new databases available to researchers and will demonstrate a few of them. There are new tools for identifying people and places.
We will look at available Irish Census records especially the 1901 and 1911 census. The 1926 Census will become available in April 2026. We will look at the Virtual Treasury was started in 2022 as an attempt to recreate the records destroyed in 1922 at the outset of the Civil War. This is an ever-growing, open-access resource, freely and permanently available online to all those interested in Ireland’s deep history, at home and abroad.
We will look at the Irish National Archives and the Ulster Historical Foundation.

2026-04-18 14:00 - 17:00 | Central Rappahannock Regional Library Main Branch, 1201 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401, United States
“Old Photographs and your Genealogical Research
So, you’ve come across an old family photograph album. How can it help you with your family’s genealogy research? This presentation discusses how old family photos can enrich your family’s genealogy story by putting a face to an otherwise dull list of dates and places. It will explore how to extract additional information from those old family photos of known ancestors, and possibly, how to identify unknown people found in those same photo albums.”
Join Dave Thomen on April 18th at 2 pm at the Fredericksburg Branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library on Caroline Street at 2 pm.
