The Irish Family History Centre emails a free newsletter every two weeks. Each newsletter brings summaries of events, research tips, and other developments, with links to the full article.

Here are the lead sentences from today's publication:

"Hello from all of us here at the Irish Family History Centre and welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter!

Tomorrow marks the Armistice Centenary of World War I. In all, about 210,000 Irishmen served in the British forces during The Great War. Since there was no conscription, about 140,000 of these joined during the war as volunteers. Some 35,000 Irish died.

Our Spotlight on Publications has been written with this in mind, and looks at World War I. There is also some information on just a couple of the ways Ireland is commemorating this Centenary."
