About this event

Irish genealogy presents unique challenges, but with the right knowledge and resources, you can make meaningful discoveries. Join us for this informative two-hour workshop and learn how to research your Irish ancestors using civil registration, parish records, census and land records, newspapers, military records, workhouse records, and much more. You'll also discover how historical events—including the destruction of records in the Four Courts Fire—have shaped Irish family history research, and learn practical strategies for overcoming common obstacles. Whether you're new to Irish genealogy or trying to solve a long-standing family mystery, this workshop will equip you with the tools and confidence to continue your search.
