About Irish Genealogy

Irish genealogy is frustrating, rewarding, impossible, exciting, a mystery...

That's what we hear and some of this is true. You will be 5 minutes into your research and someone will tell you that all the records were lost in a fire. No they were not!! But yes, lots of records were lost.

It all makes for a less-than-straightforward research challenge, but sure isn't it the challenge that makes genealogy so great.

Take a look at our list of some of the main sources of records available to search. That is only the main ones. There are many snippets of valuable information waiting for those willing to search.

Why not let Family Ulster help. If you cannot come here yourself we will research on your behalf. If you can (and you should) we will help you make the most of your time by assisting with your research, and by touring you to the places most associated with your family. We might even find someone to meet who is a distant cousin.
