Family History

The Irish Archives Resource portal contains information on records in Archives Services which may help you in researching your family tree. Using key word terms to search, you can locate information on collections of archives relating to places, organisations, people or specific periods of time.
The Irish Archives Resource portal is suitable for family researchers who have already discovered some facts about their family history. If you are starting to research your family tree you can visit your local City or County Archive Service or Local Studies Library for assistance. The National Archives of Ireland provides a free genealogical advice service in their Reading Room, and the National Library of Ireland provides a similar service during the summer months. The Archives and Records Association, Ireland website www.learnaboutarchives.ie contains details about Archives Services throughout the country and their holdings, which may be of assistance.
