NEHGS -- FREE Access to ALL Its Irish Resources (Ends 9 August)
August 1,
2016—Boston, Massachusetts--Many
believe that researching Irish ancestors is impossible because of the
destruction of the Public Record Office (PRO) in Dublin in 1922. While many
records were destroyed in that devastating fire, other sources, such as deeds
and Catholic Church records, were never stored in the PRO and still exist. A
lot of Irish genealogical material has come online in recent years, and the
growing list of Internet research options has resulted in many more people
finding their ancestors in Ireland.
Experts at
New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) know the best resources for
Irish genealogy and can teach you to use them effectively. During the Irish
Resources FREE Access promotion from NEHGS—beginning Tuesday, August 2, and
effective through midnight (EST) on Tuesday, August 9—Guest Users on AmericanAncestors.org can browse and use a
wide variety of Irish records, articles, subject guides, and webinars.
Find Your
