Beta version of revised Irish civil BMD image browse now available - swilson.info/tools/ Now seems to be working on more browsers (FF, Edge, Chrome etc). Looking at adding an auto convert of old to new image urls... #IrishGenealogy #Ireland #Genealogy

Cautiously optimistic - found a potential workaround for image browse block on new NAI Census website, bonus - also seems to be working on revised IrishGen system also.... testing this at the moment... fingers crossed! #IrishGenealogy #Ireland #Genealogy #ImageBrowse

This 1772 map of County Dublin appears in John Rutty's "An Essay towards a Natural History of the County of Dublin"

A traveled to the top of a Volcano in Hawaii to capture this: Saturn briefly covered by the moon. One of the most difficult shots I’ve captured and a bucket list moment, this event gave me a new perspective on the solar system. I’ll have it available in print for a short time.

Dear estate agents/auctioneers, vendors, if you are clearing out old solicitor’s offices, please contact county archives or local history societies before you skip irreplaceable archives. I just heard that two skips containing boxes of archival material ended up in landfill.

@_time_keeper That section was originally called MacGowan Terrace ... Thom's 1914 Extract for this :

Main Street, Ranelagh in Dublin. Originally it was the village of Cullenswood. But subsequently, it took its name after the Ranelagh Gardens which were created in the 1770s. Eason Collection. c. 1910.
