Ireland's 1911 and 1901 Census Records
I'm finally getting back into my genealogy research. I've been viewing the 1911 Census records. I really don't get much out of them as I have all of my family information from this time.

I cannot wait. My Finegan's were still in Co. Monaghan at this time and I really don't have much on them. They came to America between 1904 and 1911. So, I have my fingers crossed that once these records are up that I will uncover some more family facts.View records and info here:

One thing to keep in mind, is that the name keeps flip flopping in records from Finegan to Finnegan.About a year or so ago, I did uncover Patrick Finegan's ship record. Within this record, I gained 2
