Trace Your Irish Genealogy

When it comes to tracing your Irish genealogy and making your family tree, the first step should always be to talk to your family and make a note of what they have to say. Then you should gather up all the information possible from documents, such as birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage certificates. Graveyard inscriptions, memoriam cards and whatever else can be obtained should be regarded as gold. When you have these things in your possession you will be better placed to speak to an elderly relative about what they can tell you about your Irish Ancestry, and these items could be the trigger to them remembering in detail.
