Morning all,

Any know why the site is down, or is just me?

It’s been acting up for a couple of days now, likely won’t get fixed until after the weekend.

Been down for me since early yesterday morning!

As Sinann says, it won't be looked at until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Maybe the 1864-1870 deaths will appear  ??? ???

I went into Claire Santry's 'irishgenealogynews' website, hoping for the latest information about it, only to discover that the blog has been 'retired', what a shame.

That is a terrible loss for Irish research  :'(

There will be no new blogposts but those that have already been published will remain online for a while... probably until the domain name comes up for renewal.

...wonder if it can be preserved on Wayback Machine or similar.

On a small, but positive note though, it seems:

will remain.
