Irish SIG Meeting: Tracing Irish Ancestors from America to Ireland: Core Concepts

For Americans of Irish descent, tracing Irish ancestors begins in the U.S. The goal is to uncover the information needed to identify and research their ancestors in Ireland. Discover the core concepts that underpin successful Irish genealogical research, including:

• Building essential research skills
• Understanding historical and geographical contexts in both Ireland and the U.S. and their impact on record availability
• Drawing on the extensive resources available through the genealogical community
• Employing fundamental organizational strategies to manage the large amounts of information gathered during research

Whether you’re just beginning your Irish family history research or looking for a fresh approach to longstanding challenges, discover how a strong foundation in research principles can help you move closer to your Irish ancestors.

Featured speaker: Susan McKee, Irish genealogist
