This past week—103 years after the Public Record Office blaze on June 30, 1922—the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI) dropped a huge update: 175,000 newly recovered records, bringing the total to 350,000 documents now fully searchable online.

This treasure trove for family history fans includes about 60,000 names from pre- and post-Famine censuses, picked from transcripts and microfilm stored in the National Archives and Public Record Office.

And more!
