Thank you David, for your edits, added categorization, and specified reference/source links to my Drennans! 🌈🍀 I tried to award you a badge—but wiki said you already had them all (that were available to award you)
Hi David,

I notice that there are 27 1841 census returns from Cork households at https://www.virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-CEN-1841-2-1 - just click the "next" button to scroll through them. Nine of these are from Aghadown and twelve from Drinagh.

Cheers, John

Hi beloved PC,

It is once again time for our annual Ireland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

  1. If you would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. If your answer is yes, please tell us if you are happy with your current team, or if you would prefer to join a different one. If you are currently participating in more than one team we would appreciate you ranking them in their order of importance to you, from highest priority to lowest. This information will be helpful as we consider possible future changes to our team structure.
  2. In the past, the project has had a very minimal membership requirement (one contribution per year) for badged members to meet. Do you believe this is adequate, or should this requirement be increased? What do you believe would be a reasonable commitment to expect from all project members?
  3. How active have you been in the Ireland Project over the past year? Please choose one of the following options: a) I normally spend 1-5 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. b) I normally spend 6-10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. c) I spend over 10 hours per month helping achieve my team’s goals. d) I am not able to contribute every month but have spent approximately ________ hours during the past year improving Irish profiles.
  4. Please provide feedback on any things you’d like to see the project do more of in the future.

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you no longer are able to participate in the Ireland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

Many thanks for all that so many of you have contributed to the project in the past year, and very special thanks to those who answered the project’s call and gave generously of their time to be part of Team Seanchaithe during the most recent connect-a-thon. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

le dea-mhéin, Jen Hutton, Ireland Project co-leader

Well now Glorious Leader, ye just had to do it didn't you!

On the whole I think I would like to continue as an Ireland Project member. Since I am participating in the Counties Team and the Categorisation I guess that in fact since most of my work in the Counties and vice versa sees them inextricably interwoven I shall have to decline to rank them.

I consider it reasonable to make least 50 contributions in a year, i.e. 1 a week although truth be told I think that is very meagre and would prefer to see that at 1 a day average, so 360+ a year.

In my opinion I am reasonably active in the Project and definitely knock c) into a cocked hat. Sometimes with much as 10 hours a day.

I would like to see more efforts to reduce the number of database errors we are responsible for and to reduce considerably the number of profiles across the various "needs" categories. An Ireland Project "Need-a-thon" might help.

Other than that there remains nothing further than to thank you and Rich as leaders, and my fellow PC for all you do for the Project.

Go maire an tionscadal ar aghaidh chun sinn a choinneĂĄil amach as an gcruachĂĄs!

David,

This is a thank you note for all the work setting up the Irish county/parish free space pages with links to 1901 and 1911 census.

I contributed to answering a recent G2G question. https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1436717/birth-and-death-sources-denis-mcdonald-county-cavan-ireland

It was very easy to find the townland Moylett and convenient to have the census's linked. The twist in this example was that the family surname was transcribed incorrectly from McDonald to McDonall in the 1911 census database. The error was easy to see from the handwritten census forms. If someone simply started to search for 'McDonald' in the national database they would not find the 1911 census.

Kind regards, Steve.

Thank you Steve,

It is gratifying to know that someone is finding the feature useful.

There are a number of transcription errors in the censuses and not only the Irish ones either!

On that note, the links I provide are based on the townland name. Sometimes the name used in the census is different OR needs qualification by using the DED as well. Should you come across any where the link does not provide the expected result and you are able to identify the correct name and or DED please do let me know (via Discord preferably) and I can add the correction to my townland database and correct the entry.

Thanks again.

Kind regards, David

Because in addition to WikiTree I have a fairly heavy involvement in Find A Grave I am often in graveyards contemplating things past and present and experiencing the sadness of unloved and unkept graves. Recently a poem about this formed so I wrote it down.
Warm in a heart you lie
Remembered with fondness
Until that heart too passes
And the memories fade
Cold in your grave you lie
Perhaps in history you lie
Until that history changes
And you, once fĂȘted, now are vilified
Yet nothing changed
Cold in your grave you lie
Cold in your grave you lie
Named for eternity
Or 'til neglect and decay step in
And erase the memory of you.
Cold in your grave you lie.
