Good morning!
Last week, Ancestry.com released a new companion database to the Social Security Death Index. The U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index includes abstracts of application claims. Some of the information included valuable for genealogists are parent's names, birthplaces and birthdates.

Irish Genealogy @ National Library of Ireland
Irish Genealogy Just Got More Accessible!
Today the National Library of Ireland released their entire collection of Catholic parish registers online. Previously accessible only on microfilm, these digitized images are free to search. These unindexed images can be filtered by location and date. The parish register records consist mainly of baptismal and marriage records, and span from 1740 to 1880. The home page has a handy interactive map where you can click on a county and have all of its parishes displayed.
