We are delighted to announce the addition of over 20,000 records from forty Monaghan national school registers from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries! National School registers are a valuable source of family information. They contain the vital details of each pupil, along with a summary of their school attendance, the subjects they took, and their examination results over the years. Registers occasionally contain notes on departures from the school, careers after leaving school, emigration, serious illness, or even death.

“I couldn’t have planned a better trip. I gained a lot of experience with Irish genealogical sources at PRONI and online. The visits to museums and historical homes and sites were both instructive and entertaining; they gave me a different perspective on my ancestors’ lives before they emigrated to the United States. I want to come back!”
Mary Anne Hamilton – Illinois, USA
