"Surprising Source Unearths Trove of Records for Reconnecting with Irish Roots"
Ancestry has digitized a trove of records from the archives of Ireland's Guinness brewery, spanning over 160 years, which will be available for free viewing from March 8-22. The records include employee details from 1799 to 1939 and trade ledgers from 1860 to 1960, offering insights into pub culture and potential family connections. This collection is expected to help many people of Irish descent reconnect with their roots, filling a genealogical void left by a 1922 fire that destroyed crucial records in Dublin.
