Newly digitized school records feature in our latest Irish genealogy news round-up.

The free-to-access Ireland Genealogy Projects (IGP) archive has added transcribed school records from Townavilly school (also known as Tawnawully or Tawnawilly) in Co. Donegal, dating to 1849. This was a tenantry school, established by the Commissioners of Education in Ireland for the children of tenants living in 14 townlands in this area. The names of 59 boys and 21 girls were cross-referenced with the 1901 census records.

The IGP archive has also published a list of 111 deserted children in Co. Wexford, dating to 1846, whose care was supported by the county’s grand jury. The list also records the names of fosterers or carers.

The subscription site Ancestry has recently added Mayo and Sligo school records, covering the years 1802–1928. This includes school registers, roll books and exam rolls, and provides details such as the pupil’s name, age, date of birth, place of residence and parents’ names and occupations.

The subscription site Ulster Historical Foundation has also recently expanded its collections with new school records from Ulster.

Many people think that they can identify an Irish last name simply by an "O'" or a "Mc" at the start of it. While that may sometimes be true, there are many last names that people don't readily realize are Irish.
