Subject: 1901 and 1911 Censuses

From today's Irish Times

Early Irish census data will be made available on internet Fiona Gartland

Census information from the early 20th century will be available on the
internet from next year, following an agreement between Canada and Ireland.

Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism John O'Donoghue signed an agreement
between the National Archives of Ireland and Library and Archives Canada,
which will see the Irish census records for 1901 and 1911 digitised and
placed online.

Access will be free and interest is expected from many Canadians, 13 per
cent of whom claim Irish ancestry. Census records are currently only
available at the National Archives in Dublin.

The three-year project will allow anyone to search for an Irish ancestor
quickly and easily. People will also be able to access historical
information and images. Information will be available from December 2006.

The census records contain the name, sex, marital status, occupation, and
county and country of birth of everyone listed in every dwelling in the
country - including houses, prisons, hospitals, military barracks and
industrial schools. They also include details on each person's literacy
level, ability to speak Irish, the number of years women were married and
the total number of children born.

The returns for each census give the number of windows and the condition of
each house, and the number of rooms occupied by each family.

Though the first full government census was taken in 1821, the 1901 census
is the earliest one surviving for the 32 counties. Other censuses were
destroyed, many in the fire of 1922 at the Public Record Office.

The 1901 and 1911 censuses are the most frequently used sources in the
National Archives.

Library Archives Canada has already digitised Canadian census records from
the early 20th century and made them available on an internet database. They
will be offering their experience to the project.

Mr O'Donoghue said the records hold precious insights into Irish family
history for millions at home and abroad.

"We hope this service in collaboration with our Canadian partners will
connect many people globally to their cultural roots," he said.

Ian Wilson, head of Library and Archives Canada, said they welcomed the
opportunity to use their expertise in connecting Canadians with their
history.

Domestic service and female domestic servants: A port-city comparison of
Bremen and Liverpool, 1850-1914
Robert Lee
School of History, University of Liverpool, 9, Abercomby Square, Liverpool,
L69 7WZ, UK
Available online 2 November 2005.

Abstract
The author analyzes the development of domestic service in Bremen and
Liverpool as two examples of major commercial ports in the 19th century
characterized by significant merchant wealth and casual, dock-related
employment. The migration pattern and age structure of domestic servants are
examined and key aspects of their employment history are explored in terms
of residential location, length of service, and social background of their
employers. Census data are used for both port cities (drawing, in particular
on the relational database currently being constructed for the Liverpool
Mercantile Project), together with the Bremen civil registers for marriages
and deaths, and qualitative material, such as diaries and autobiographies
from members of the merchant class. By developing an explicitly comparative
analysis within the framework of an established typology the article
provides a basis for assessing the extent to which the nature of domestic
service in the two port cities, as well as the recruitment and retention of
domestic servants, was determined by similarities in the growth of merchant
wealth and culture or by distinct regional or national characteristics in
the underlying pattern of urban migration.

Keywords: Servants; Female labor; Migration; Merchant economy; Ports;
Liverpool; Bremen; Citizenship

This article moves nicely through the research literature on movement into
Liverpool, including the literature on the Irish.

However the entire special issue will be of interest to those who study the
patterns of domestic service - cumulatively it is a an exploration of the
current state of play as regards research.

Lebanese Emigration Research Center query

This message was originally submitted by sdabbous[at]NDU.EDU.LB

Beirut, 29 November 2005

Dear friends of absentee voting!

Overseas voting/out of country voting, etc. is now common in most countries
around the world. For an overview go to the ACE and EPIC research websites
at:

http://www.aceproject.org/main/english/index.htm
http://epicproject.org/ace/compepic/en/VO04
(e.g. EPIC Comparative Analysis: Voting Operations - Who can vote from
outside the country?)

The Lebanese Emigration Research Center is now canvassing NGOs, activists
and government representatives to expand on the exemplary work already done
by: http://www.idea.int/ ; http://www.ifes.org/ ; http://www.undp.org/
through this survey of diaspora NGOs and domestic absentee voters rights
initiatives.


We are mainly interested in the following topics.

1) Is absentee voting possible in your country and if yes, as of which
date?
2) Do initiatives exist in your country to either introduce absentee
voting or expand on the areas (e.g. referendums/recalls, regional and local
elections, passive voting rights) in which it is now possible?
3) Is e-voting being used to facilitate absentee voting?
4) Which position do the political parties, pro-democracy movements and
diaspora organisations take on key issues related to absentee voting (e.g.
embassy vs. postal voting, restrictions based on duration of absence, etc.)?
5) Can non-nationals (e.g. guest workers, immigrants based on EU
reciprocity, Common Wealth citizens, etc.) vote in your country? If yes, can
they also participate in absentee voting schemes when abroad on election
day?
6) Can you supply use with declarations, photos, pamphlets, etc.
illustrating the absentee voting activities in your country.
7) Are there any other issues you consider relevant? Please supply
additional information LERC is interested in information from around the
world, but especially from developing countries with significant diaspora
populations, which provide the mother country with remittances and are
active in politics both in the diaspora and country of origin.

We will be supplying the results of this survey to the election reform
commission of the Lebanese government, currently completing the hearing
phase of the reform process by the end of this calendar year, and will also
publish our results with the NDU Press in the spring of 2006.

Yours, Eugene Sensenig-Dabbous / LERC Notre Dame University

Heesom.) Durham Ph.D. 1998.

...which is critical of Frank Neal, and to a certain extent Donald MacRaild.
The suggestion being that every example of anti-Irish activity or prejudice
is sought out, whilst counter-balancing material is not weighed. At this
level of detail I am very much an outsider - but even an outsider can think
of on the one hand on the other hand examples. Perhaps someone who knows

It will be known that we have set up, in various places on the web, research
alerts - which bring to our attention material of interest to Irish Diaspora
Studies.

I never do anything that costs money - we don't have the funds for research
subscription services and the like. Indeed part of the fun is to find ways
to make material visible without being caught in the moneygrubbers' traps...
And I suppose that there is a point of principle there...

On that note one of our alerts has suddenly started presenting us with
material about theses, broadly, and sometimes very specifically, within the
field of Irish Diaspora Studies. There is a sort of sociology of academia
interest here. Not very long ago you would have been hard put to point to
any such thesis - now there are more and more. And by tracking the research
supervisors you can see which eminent academic is empire-building. More
fun...

I am not sure that we want to present lots of thesis material on the IR-D
list... But some of the thesis material looks very interesting indeed, and
it is interesting to see younger scholars explore our fields...

As we have seen some universities are now publishing thesis material
straight on to the web. Others hide behind clouds of costs - and the
research material is not really readily available. Should we wait for news
of the published article or book?

Any thoughts, anyone?

On theses in Britain...

There is the History On-Line web site... Look at current research,
Theses... They have Theses completed since 1995. And you have to look in
each year...

research, and evaluated links to web sites and on-line resources. This
information is freely available, and can be searched or browsed...'

You will see that there is always much on Ireland and that this usually
includes some research on the Irish in Britain, on Irish women, and even
some research on Irish women in Britain...

Abstract

The famine of 1846-1852 added to other factors that created the
enormous influx of Irish immigration to the United States. With those
immigrants came material culture and traditions in material culture.
Through the study of the ceramic assemblages of two sites, Ballykilcline, an
Irish evicted tenant farmer village, and Five Points, the infamous New York
City immigrant slum, the relationship between the immigrant in flux and
material culture will be further explored and discerned. The study is
conducted by comparing the presence or absence of ceramic ware types and
decorations.

Paddy,
It is probably worth noting the paucity of relevant published material on
the north east of England, despite the large, predominantly Catholic, Irish
presence in those counties. When I was researching the Irish on Tyneside in
the early 1990s Cooter's thesis was an invaluable resource.
Cooter's argument was that there was comparatively less anti-Irish feeling
in the NE than in other parts of the UK and the available evidence supports
this view. He does not, of course, claim that that there was a complete
absence of sectarian activity and we know from the work of Neal and MacRaild
that certain parts of the region displayed more negative responses.

Dear teachers and colleagues,
We would like to announce that the department of Education and
Interpretation has mounted two new web site curriculum units, one under PA
ethnic history on the Irish and one on the Pennsylvania Abolition Society.
We hope you will explore them both. Even if you are not a teacher, you may
find these of interest since there are many primary source photographs and
documents mounted there.

For Irish, go to: http://www.hsp.org/default.aspx?id=79

For PA Abolition Society, go to: http://www.hsp.org/default.aspx?id=634

Our web site curriculum units introduce teachers to themes, approaches, and
resources in Pennsylvania history. Under ethnic history, topics are
explored in four specific themes: Settlement, Work, Community, and
Interethnic Relations. Lessons and activities are built around primary
source materials from HSP's collection and are designed to help your
students learn to begin thinking like historians.

Ireland's Unique Electoral Experiment: The Senate Election of 1925

Abstract:
The 1925 election to the Irish senate was unique in the history of =
electoral systems: the whole territory of the Irish Free State was used =
as a single, nation=E2=80=90wide constituency for the election of 19 =
senators, by means of the single transferable vote system of =
proportional representation, from a general electorate. The procedure =
used was widely seen at the time as a failure, and the experiment was =
never repeated. This article, based on a reconstruction of the results =
of the election, revisits two important issues. First, it reassesses the =
character of the mechanism used in this election, and concludes that its =
critics overstated their case. Second, it evaluates the election against =
one of its originally declared yardsticks: its capacity to ensure that =
Ireland's small ex=E2=80=90unionist (and largely Protestant) minority =
would have a powerful voice in the second chamber. Although the election =
was not a success in this second respect (a failure that was in part due =
to the nomination process), it nevertheless offers important and =
original evidence of the extent to which party hegemony may be =
challenged in elections of this kind by powerful sectional and regional =
interests.

Over the years I have had a number of discussions with the Human Resource
Management folk. And I have always found them interesting. For one thing,
they tend to have a robust, functional - functionalist? - notion of
'culture'. Within their own world they have, by now, quite a body of
research material.

This small comparative study is therefore worth looking at - as a very good
survey of the ways in which these sort of issues are discussed within Human
Resource Management, and in unpacking some of the ways in which sterotypes
have skewed the research.

Individualism/collectivism and attitudes towards human resource systems: a
comparative study of American, Irish and Indian MBA students

Abstract:
In this study, we collected data from 180 MBA students from the USA, Ireland
and India on their individualism/collectivism (IC) orientations and their
preferences for human resource management (HRM) practices. Contrary to
expectations, the Indian sample tended to be more individualistic than the
American or Irish sample. While there were no differences on the preferences
for progressive HRM practices across sample, the Americans exhibited a
greater preference for paternalistic practices than the Indians and the
Irish. Further, the Americans also showed a greater preference for equality
in rewards than the Irish and fairness in appraisals/rewards than the
Indians. At the individual level, controlling for nationality, age and
gender, higher individualism scores on the supremacy of individual goals and
self-reliance dimensions were positively related to progressive HRM
practices. Higher individualism on supremacy of individual goals was also
positively related to procedural fairness in appraisals/rewards and
negatively related to paternalistic HRM practices. A higher preference for
working alone was negatively related to progressive HRM practices. Further,
higher individualism on the supremacy of individual interest dimension was
negatively related to progressive HRM practices and positively related to
paternalistic HRM practices. Implications are discussed.
