@nemorosa@mastodon.nu I definitely couldn’t. When I started research on a book about 1916 I spent hours getting my grandparents’ and a couple of others’ birth, marriage and death certificates. With the internet (and Irish government generosity) I now have thousands. If I were in other countries not so, though - they monetise these records

@sinabhfuil@mastodon.ie Valid point, I'm not writing anything that needs specific records or facts - the benefit of fiction - so I'm free to take my pick from the shelves; What will I let me be inspired from today?
