Why can’t I find my IRISH ANCESTOR?

Irish family history research has a well-deserved reputation for being difficult. Often it can seem nearly impossible. Where do you go to research once you have exhausted the typical sources? David Ryan shares his expertise for overcoming the common barriers to tracing Irish ancestors

This article will look at some of the most common barriers we encounter when researching our Irish ancestors and offer some potential solutions. When tracing your Irish ancestors, it’s very easy, for instance, to overlook the fact that there is so much material that isn’t online. From land records, probate indexes and many other collections, there are a lot of overlooked resources that might help with your research.
