FindMyPast has added 43,000 new records to the Ireland National Schools List dataset bringing the total number of records to over 186,000 covering many counties for the years 1860-1922.
FindMyPast notes that these records are usually for smaller or more isolated schools or for those that closed some time ago (although surprisingly, the records include a mix of religions and backgrounds). Nevertheless, I noticed records from Dublin among the results when I searched for my own ancestors.
The majority of items include both an image of the student’s record as well as a transcript. However, bear in mind that records for people born less than 100 years ago have been redacted and only have transcripts.
The type of information varies among students but most records include:
Name;
Date of birth;
Year of register;
Age;
Denomination;
Home address;
Occupation of parent or guardian;
School name;
Parish name.
Additional information available from the images which was not transcribed can also include:
Name of previous school;
Number of days attendance;
Class enrolled into;
Results of examinations in various subjects including reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, grammar, needlework and drawing;
Date pupil left the school and was readmitted (where applicable).
Did you find any ancestors in the Ireland National Schools List? I wasn’t lucky this time round but would love to hear from you in the Comments section below if you did.
Until next time, happy ancestor hunting.

The hardest person link to shop for is the one who buys themselves everything they already want. Their needs are link met, and their interests are placated. To find the right gift for this person, you must dig deep and find the unusual – items they didn't even know they were missing. For this gift guide, we went through every corner of the Hodinkee Shop to bring a spotlight to those unique items that are as well-crafted as a luxury timepiece and will surprise even link the person who seems to have it all.
We then moved on to basics: the power source, the gears, the hands that are attached to gears. It was link easy to listen to Le. She made her body into the spring and moved the way it moved, taking energy, doling energy out. link She repeated things, sometimes many times. "I watch everyone," she told me later. "I was watching you and link I saw that you were taking notes, so I would come over and repeat things for you."
Once I had each track recorded (on guitar, piano, and ukulele), I would compile all link of the tracks using recording software link and create a complete composition. Best case scenario, the metronome would function as advertised, and all the instruments would be in sync. Worst case scenario, link I’d just call it avant-garde.
