One hundred years ago, your ancestors stood and were counted in Irelands first census as a soverign nation. Now their names and yours can be honoured forever.
The 1926 Irish Census Illuminated Manuscript is a hand-crafted work of art created by Karen Brett Brennan, a 5th generation Irish artist and calligrapher from Co. Mayo, to mark the centenary release of the 1926 Irish Census.
Your family surname(s) are hand-inscribed in calligraphy directly onto the manuscript by Karen in her Dublin studio — a living connection between your family and Ireland's most significant genealogical record in a century.
