..the data for Antrim, Kerry and Down has been reviewed..
and data for  Cork, Donegal, Wexford, Galway and King’s County (Offaly) will be placed online in the week beginning 25 May...

all being well the batch after that will be put on in mid july and the final set of counties at the end of august,then the site is getting re-built and the 1901 will be on by the end of the year ;D this timescale will only apply if they are happy about the accuracy of the transcriptions though!

Anyone else finding the National Archives website is taken ages to load today.

Perhaps a promising sign that the Census for the other counties is being uploaded.

I think i have checked a hundred times this week to see if anything happening but at the moment doesnt look like it.

Fingers crossed that by the weekend i can browse for my Cork ancestors.

And I thought the reason the site was slow was because they were loading new material.

Seems the reason its slow is because thousands of RootsChatters are checking 10 times a day. Just like me!!

Its the end of may now and still no release.

Why tell people that its was going to be released by the end of may.

Who ever predicts the timetable for the realises isnt doing a very good job.

I could accept if we had accurate time-lines for the realises.

They are now saying

" Further tranches of counties will comprise:
1. Limerick, Mayo,Waterford, Armagh, Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Fermanagh, Kildare, Kilkenny and Leitrim;
2. Londonderry (Derry), Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Queen’s County (Laois), Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Westmeath and Wicklow.

At present, we hope to be placing the first listed tranche online by mid – July, and the second tranche by end -August, but this is subject to our being satisfied that the data meets our required levels of accuracy.

In September, we will be rebuilding the site to include full transcription of all of the data on the household forms for 1911, including religion, occupation, relationship to head of family, literacy status, marital status, county or country of origin, Irish language proficiency, specified illnesses, and child survival information.

1901, with all data transcribed, will be launched towards the end of 2009. "

no mention of Cork, Donegal, Wexford, Galway and King’s County

so these must be going on
