An Introduction to Irish Family History Research
Irish ancestry research has the reputation of being tricky but this talk will cover how you can get started with your Irish ancestral research. We will dispel the myths about which records were destroyed in 1922, which records are available and best of all which are free.
This will give you a good grounding to making a start on finding your Irish ancestors.
