Census Connections

Census Connections Census Connections provides a view into the communities and day-to-day lives of our ancestors using the historical census returns of 1901 and 1911.

We take the census records from 1901 & 1911 & build a picture of the community in which our ancestors lived. At the moment only the areas of Blarney, Matehy & Dripsey have been included but we are working on expanding this.
