The following is a press release written by the folks at TheGenealogist:
TheGenealogist is delighted to announce the release of an exciting new collection of Irish parish records from Waterford, Ireland. These newly transcribed records offer researchers a fresh opportunity to explore their Irish roots and uncover family connections in one of the country's most historically significant counties.
Among the records is Thomas Francis Meagher, a leading voice in the Young Ireland movement and later a Union General in the American Civil War. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was a successful merchant and the former Mayor of Waterford, remembered for his influence and standing in the early 19th century.
TheGenealogist's Head of Content, Mark Bayley, commented:
“We are thrilled to add these parish records to our growing Irish collections. Waterford is the home of Ireland’s oldest city and is the birthplace of Thomas Francis Meagher. These records offer family historians an opportunity to connect their past to a truly historic part of Ireland.”
The release is part of TheGenealogist’s continuing commitment to make Irish records more accessible for family historians around the world. Whether you're tracing ordinary ancestors or uncovering links to Ireland's revolutionary past, these records offer an invaluable resource.
These records are now available to Diamond subscribers of TheGenealogist, adding to its comprehensive collection of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials.
