Most of us are proud of our Irish roots, but few of us know very much about our ancestors, the communities they came from, the conditions they faced, the work they did or why they moved.
Good family research is fundamentally about seeing our ancestors as people. Family history research can help satisfy our innate curiosity about our ancestors – about who they were and where came from.
But family history can take us further.
Discovering more about our ancestors may help us understand ourselves better and appreciate what makes us who we are.
