18th April 2026 sees the release of the first new census for Ireland in decades. The 1926 census was the first taken after the island was partitioned and covers the 26 counties which are today known as the Republic of Ireland. In the 15 years since the 1911 census, Ireland had changed dramatically, not least because of partition, but also the impact of World War I, mass migration and the Spanish Flu pandemic. This session showcases the data on the 1926 census, shows researchers how to use the new census and combine it with the older ones. It will quickly become a vital resource for Irish genealogical research.

The Irish Quaker community is today very small but at the turn of the 19th century, they were a large, active mobile community in Ireland, with strong links to Pennsylvania, which was founded by William Penn, an English Quaker. They also kept amazingly detailed records in both the personal and business spheres. This lecture traces the history and impact of Irish Quakers and showcases their records while considering what a largescale DNA project might uncover for this endogamous and distinct community within Ireland.
