Many have Irish roots. Historically it was quite challenging to
research those roots without taking a trip to Ireland (though, a trip to Ireland does
sound quite fun!).
The last few years
has seen an explosion in what Irish records we can research from the comfort of
our home!
As stated on the
findmypast.com site ...
On June 30 1922, during the Irish
Civil War, the Public Records Office of Ireland ,
located at the historic Four Courts in Dublin ,
was severely damaged by fire resulting in the loss of a huge number of records.
But all is not lost! Irish family history is not only one of the most perplexing to
research it also one of the most rewarding. There are so many fascinating
stories to be told from the records that survive and that’s why millions
continue to search for their Irish ancestors.
