Irish Ancestry Research
Although many documents were destroyed, there is still a wealth of records existing to help you research your Irish ancestry.
Linda Hammond explores civil and church records available online as well as census returns and census substitute records to cover those periods where documents no longer exist. By looking at valuation records, burial and probate records, passenger lists and newspaper archives you can endeavour to trace your Irish roots and locate your ancestor’s hometown.
Linda is a professional qualified genealogist with over 30 years’ experience.
