TheGenealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk) announces the release of an exciting new collection of Irish parish records from Waterford, Ireland. These newly transcribed records offer researchers a fresh opportunity to explore their Irish roots and uncover family connections in one of the country's most historically significant counties. 

Among the records is Thomas Francis Meagher, a leading voice in the Young Ireland movement and later a Union General in the American Civil War. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was a successful merchant and the former Mayor of Waterford, remembered for his influence and standing in the early 19th century.

TheGenealogist's Head of Content, Mark Bayley, commented: "We are thrilled to add these Waterford parish records to our growing Irish collections. For those with family ties to the area, or those researching influential figures like the Meagher family, this release provides a valuable glimpse into Irish life in the 18th and 19th centuries."
