Our partners’ expertise comes from 15 years experience in the fields of genealogy and historical research in Ireland.
You can commission them to undertake the research in advance of your arrival in Ireland, giving you an insight into the lives of those that came before you, when you retrace their 
steps back to the villages and townlands where they lived.
If you would like to start tracing your Irish ancestors during your trip to Ireland, they can provide you with a detailed map and search strategy for undertaking the research yourself. It is also possible for you to meet with one of our Genealogists in Dublin city to discuss the results of your commissioned research or to guide you through the first steps of undertaking the research yourself.
Genealogical research in Ireland is no easy task and can sometimes take time. We advise that you undertake an assessment of your family information well in advance of your trip to Ireland. We sometimes find that it may be necessary for you to gather more information in your own country, before it is practical to start any research in Ireland.
When you have provided us with the required information listed below, they will review your family information and prepare a detailed research strategy, advising you of the possibilities for research in Ireland and the information that they would expect to find. If you select to use this search strategy yourself, they can provide you with a map and guide to the various libraries and archives in Dublin city where you will undertake your search. If you choose to commission research with them, they will provide you with a quote for undertaking the research in advance of your trip to Ireland.*
