On the 1930 U.S. Census (Brooklyn Kings County New York)under Johanna
Wilkenshoff she is listed as being from the "Irish Free State". Is this Ireland?
Was this Ireland being free from England?

Thanks in advance

The Irish Free State / Saorstát Éireann was the political entity

existing from 1922 to 1937 which is now the Republic of Ireland. It
was a self-governing dominion with the UK monarch as titular head.
According to the Wikipaedia article on the Irish Free State, a change
in the status of the UK monarch in 1927 started the process of the
development from dominion to republic which appears to have proceeded
effectively unopposed.

Yes, as opposed to Northern Ireland (Belfast area.)
