Irish Census 2022
Last Sunday night was census night in Ireland, delayed from last year because of Covid restrictions. My daughter tells me that, as well as all the usual questions they had to answer there was also a "Time Capsule" section where they were able to write about anything to do with present day life which they thought would be of interest to future generations when the census is unsealed in a hundred years time. What a brilliant idea! Can you imagine how exciting it would have been for us family historians if our own ancestors and relatives had been able to do this on past censuses?

My thoughts exactly Janet! I am so jealous of future family historians using this census. My daughter asked me if we'd been given such a chance on our census last year but of course we weren't: no-one amongst our powers-that-be has the imagination to include anything like that.

Oh wow! I would love the chance to leave a message and how I would have loved to read the messages left by my grandparents and great grandparents!
(In reverse, on a time machine would be nice too - quick, tell me who your father really was!) OC

Yes, OC, wouldn't you just love to? I wish my grandma's mother and her own grandma could talk to me. I have my grandma's grandma's thimble. I wish it could tell me what it's heard.
