Discovering your Irish roots…
First Level – Genealogy Initial Assessment
If you have Irish roots and want to make the most of your stay in Ireland, then our professional genealogist, Michael Walsh, can undertake some preliminary work before your visit. Michael will attempt to verify your particular Irish ancestor or family and establish a basis for further detailed research. Relevant primary sources will be consulted, including civil registrations, church records and 20th century census returns. He will also endeavour to identify the geographical area in which your ancestor lived (Townland) and the church in which they may have worshipped. This location information about Townland and Parish is of vital importance in Irish genealogy. Michael will evaluate the results and determine what research options have a good possibility of success before proposing a personal research plan.
