More on the Ashes to Archives
On 30 June 1922, during the Irish Civil War, the Public Records Office of Ireland, located at the historic Four Courts in Dublin, was severely damaged by fire resulting in the loss of a huge number of historical records.
That event has been permanently seared into the minds of family historians worldwide as it has made Irish genealogy one of the most challenging but also one of the most rewarding family history pursuits.
