Yesterday August 8th millstreet.ie passed a small milestone … 2 million articles viewed on the site since we started counting the stats in August 2009. We’d just like to say thanks to you our viewers and contributors coming back over and over to see what’s new and engaging with the site.

All the work we do is voluntary simply because we enjoy it, but continue reading…

When walking in the Town Park today a kind lady who is a dedicated follower of our website shared a discovery she had made regarding the two random pictures in the “From the Archives” section which appear on the right of all pages on millstreet.ie (as in the example – right). She thought (as I did) that it was only possible to view just the two pictures when you clicked upon them … but now we share our discovery that if you click upon the highlighted caption underneath the pictures this will result in the opening of a complete file of pics from which the particular picture was taken – thus giving a wonderful selection of pics instead of just the one!  Many thanks to continue reading…

The website was down for about five hours this evening without me realising. My apologies to anyone that who was looking for something and was getting a blank screen – michael.

We at millstreet.ie would like to wish that you and yours be blessed with much happiness and health this Christmas time!

Hello, I am looking for any info on the Mitchells of Millstreet circa 1830-60s. I know that there were 2 brothers Michael Patrick and Dennis. I believe Dennis was born around 1838 and Michael around 1842. I was wandering if someone could possibly tell me how many Catholic parishes there were in the area at that time? I would like to see if they have any records of the Mitchells.
Thank you for your help, John Burgess email:<email>

We’ve been working away quietly in the background for the last few days improving your experience on millstreet.ie. Most of these you won’t notice, but here are a few few of the things that you should be more obvious:

1. The ever lengthening List of Categories have been removed from the right sidebar and now appear as drop-down menus on top of the header.
2. The List of Pages have been removed from the right sidebar, and now appear as drop-down menus at the bottom of the header.
3. There are a few improvements in navigation around the site: continue reading…

In the last few days millstreet.ie has reached the milestone of quarter of a million page views since last August. That’s quite an achievement for a small community site like our own, but it has been of great encouragement to us to know that the readership is rising all the time.
