Kip's List rivals Cyndi's List
There is a new Portal of Family History Websites –which I’ll call “Kip Sperry’s A to Z Website Lists” Creator, Kip Sperry, said “I have posted a listing of commonly used family history websites alphabetically arranged from A to Z. http://home.byu.net/ks4/?sssdmh=dm13.150380 will be helpful to family history instructors, students, genealogists, and librarians as a quick listing of popular sites. I would call Kips website an alphabetical version of the famous Cyndi’s List which groups genealogy links by category.
Cyndi founded the popular Cyndislist www.cyndislist.com with 268,000 links to genealogy related websites. You can also see the real Cyndi Howells in an interview with Dick Eastman while onboard ship on a recent genealogy cruise. To see this interview go to www.rootstelevision.com - and search for the 8:54 min video title called “Cyndi’s List”

Stan makes a comment on Irish online research from
the Irish Family History Foundation's Online Research Service (ORS) who announce the availability of the records of Kildare Genealogy covering the county of Kildare. This adds almost another 1/4 million baptismal, marriage, and death records that can be searched and purchased online.

From Dick Eastman's Blog:
After a several year project by the National Archives of Ireland, in partnership with Libraries and Archives Canada, anyone may now search the 1911 census of Ireland by first or family name. The site contains the digital equivalent of 4,000 reels of microfilm and 3.5 million images. It currently holds records for Dublin only, but project organisers plan to add the rest of the country, as well as details of the 1901 census, next year.
Each entry includes a person's education, religion, profession and place of birth. A category for "children still living" suggests some astonishing child mortality rates. Another column asks people, in the jargon du jour, if they are "deaf and dumb; dumb only; blind; imbecile or idiot; or lunatic." You can read more about the records at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/about/index.html
The online version includes both a transcription as well as scanned images of each page. You can search the transcriptions for names, then click on a link to see the original image."
