Not a question but giving you a heads up about the migration of the census records on the National Archives Ireland website as your records link directly to the individual pdf files

“Important Notice (Updated February 2025)

This census records system has been replaced with a newer version available at https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/ and will be coming offline in the coming months. Any updates made to the data will only be reflected in the new system and there will be no automated links established between the old and new census systems. Please ensure you make all necessary arrangements as soon as possible.”

    Thank you for your response. However, the fix that was provided in response to your Error Report still takes the user to the legacy website; using an example in your posting / error report, the link still goes to
    www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001213678 and that link is on the site that will be taken down.

    The warning message recently placed on the site may not have been there when you visited the site:

    “Important Notice (Updated February 2025)

    This census records system has been replaced with a newer version available at https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/ and will be coming offline in the coming months. Any updates made to the data will only be reflected in the new system and there will be no automated links established between the old and new census systems. Please ensure you make all necessary arrangements as soon as possible.”

    Returning to your example, the web address for the census image on the new website is
    https://nl-ams-1.linodeobjects.com/nai-census/1901-11/001/213/678.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=1J33DWP4SJLEFZP3QN71&Signature=gribASXuJpA%2BV3rnz9CawGwZOqI%3D&Expires=1739403802

    The NAI website has changed their URLs at least 3 times that I know of in the last 5 days. It's a moving target.
