Census Series

The Irish place of origin is usually not found in state and federal censuses enumerations that occur in the United States or Canada. However, there are exceptions where fastidious census enumerators recorded the Irish county of birth for the person enumerated. This list is an effort to document all of those examples. It will be added to as I write blog posts for each example. You can click each location for more detailed information.

    The enumerator who worked the fourth ward in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin for the 1860 federal census also noted counties in Ireland.

    buy youtube views The "Wikipedia problem" which means children turning to internet for readymade answers is the new age phenomenon baffling teachers and mentors globally. There are almost equal numbers of teachers who consider technology to be a solution as much as a problem. While a common belief is that technology is hindering the students' capacity to think and analyze, there is also a strong opinion in favor of video games and digital gadgets' ability to engage students and enhance learning by using more than one sensory stimulators. In spite of the growing concern about the students' deteriorating attention spans, institutions are incorporating them in the process of classroom learning.
