The Decade of Centenaries: Researching Ireland 1912-1923 talk

I gave a talk last night to the Guild of One-Name Studies (https://one-name.org) on the topic of The Decade of Centenaries: Researching Ireland 1912-1923. The session looked at the tumultuos period in which Ireland's constitutional argument with the UK ended up with the partition of the island and a full blown civil war, but in which other struggles were also happening, including that of the Suffragettes, the rights of workers to unionise, and of course, the First World War.

The session was recorded by the society and is freely available online at https://one-name.org/the-decade-of-centenaries-researching-ireland-1912-1923-webinar-with-chris-paton/ until May 8th (or click on the image below to be taken directly there).

If you want to know more about the period, there is a dedicated chapter on the topic in my book Tracing Your Irish Family History on the Internet (2nd edition), available from Pen and Sword at https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Irish-Family-History-on-the-Internet-Paperback/p/16483 (if seeking to buy it from Ireland, postage is cheaper if bought from Books Ireland at https://www.booksireland.org.uk/store/books/tracing-your-irish-family-history-on-the-internet-second-edition)
