Finding Irish Origins: A County is Not Enough!
Presented by Ann G. Lawthers, Judy Lucey, Melanie McComb, and Eilieen Pironti
Original broadcasts March 2022
When it comes to Irish research, knowing the county your ancestor came from is not enough! To succeed in Irish research and work in Irish records, you need to know the townland and parish. Discovering that information, however, is at times the biggest challenge in Irish family history research. Join Irish experts at American Ancestors for an online seminar that will help you navigate the basics of Irish migrations to America and Canada, lead you to key records, provide strategies for finding origins when records fall short, and demonstrate how DNA can help. Finally, we’ll talk about next steps in making the leap across the pond.
This course includes:
- Access to 5+ hours of presentations
- Hear from renowned speakers, authors, and professional genealogists
- Download and/or print handouts, worksheets, and other resources
- Access recordings and materials for the foreseeable future
