My wife and I went over to Dublin in 2010 to spend some time looking at my family history. The folk at the General Registry Office are fantastic and so helpful to us and our family still in Ireland. We know where my great-grandparents were living in Dublin in 1901 and visited the various places we know the family lived from 1901 onwards (most of the pre-1940 locations now knocked down and redeveloped) ... but the family has hit 2 brick walls. We know my Great Grandad was English and was last documented on the 1861 census and next appears on the 1901 Irish census ... no idea what happened in between. We also have limited knowledge about Great-Grandma prior to the 1901 census. Next thing (for the coming year) is to go back and investigate the church records ... some in Dublin and some in Hertfordshire.

 

We will also be heading into Mid-Wales to investigate my wife's family as they were part of the temperance movement in the late 1700s / early 1800s.
