IRELAND GENEALOGY PROJECTS (IGP) DOES IT AGAIN...

"Our volunteers have just finished the Irish Constabulary men who joined in 1849. These were transcribed first and proofread before they were put online. Hope it helps someone!"

 http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/index.htm

 Genealogy would be all the poorer, and so much harder for us to research, if we didn't have the untiring work of so many unheralded volunteers at our fingertips.

Thank you to all at IGP!

                                    SEVEN LINES OF ME

 A love of books is in my blood, for writing and words form my soul..

to reach out to people, and share in their dreams, I’ve made my lifetime goal…

I love the raindrops on my face and the clear blue skies of spring…

and rainbows with promises of elusive dreams and children who laugh and sing.

I’ve a passion for fabrics and needles and thread... and flowers that dance in the breeze.

I’m also intrigued by those who have passed, just wish I could find them with ease!

So here’s my offer to you, a glimpse of my life, it’s simply a minuscule tease…

LATEST ADDITIONS TO IGP... DUBLIN'S BLUEBELL GRAVEYARD

BLUEBELL GRAVEYARD, DUBLIN

IRELAND GENEALOGY PROJECTS ARCHIVES
DUBLIN HEADSTONES

Bluebell Graveyard, Inchicore, Part 3,  Dublin (150 images)

 http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/dublin/photos/tombstones/dublin-bluebell-3/index.html
                                                   -----------------------------------


"There is an early reference in Bluebell cemetery Church ruins dated 1254 when the people who lived here were most likely part of the Barnwall's Drimnagh Castle estate and home farm. Bluebell was part of the Civil Parish of Clondalkin. Until the 1950s, Bluebell was mainly a market garden and farming community on the outskirts of the City. It was developed for residential housing by the Dublin City Council in the post war housing program, which brought an influx of young families into the area.
Over the years, the area became heavily industrialised development with the coming of paper mills, making use of the Camac river for their water supply. Gradually more industry moved into the area like Lambs, Roadstone, Nugget, McInerneys, Fiat and Volkswagen."
