Very interesting site - thanks. But I'm disappointed with its coverage of the Irish Potato Famine. It gives an estimate of 750K. In 1850 Ireland was the most densely populated nation in the world, with 8M. In 1950 there were only 4M. What happened to that population? Yes, many emigrated. But many were starved as a result of British land seizures and government intransigence. More research is needed in this area to counter the dissembling of the Potato Famine Deniers.
