Researching Your Irish Family History
Irish family history research has a justified reputation for being difficult, with many assuming that all our records were lost in the Dublin Public Record Office fire of 1922. While it is true that much was lost in the fire, there is still plenty which survives. Church records, civil registers, census returns, and land records can all help you in your Irish research. Here David Ryan will explore some of these important records and show how they can be used in tracing your Irish ancestors
