The 1926 Census returns are being released online in a landmark initiative that gives the public an insight into the lives of people living in Ireland 100 years ago.
Taken on 18 April 1926, the census was the first conducted after the establishment of the Irish Free State.
While census forms remain confidential for 100 years, the National Archives has undertaken the monumental task of digitising over 700,000 return sheets to make them available online.
From tomorrow, they will be accessible to genealogists, historians, and the public in Ireland and around the world on the National Archives website.
The National Archives has announced a major public programme to mark the centenary release of the 1926 Census of Population.
