Program Description

Event Details

Join genealogist Eileen Swanberg as she takes you through the ups and down of Irish genealogical research. Learn about naming patterns. Find out why so many older censuses and other records no longer exist. Discover why your Irish Catholic family may be found in the Church of Ireland records instead of the Catholic Church records. Hear about Griffiths Primary Valuation and Tithe Applotment Books. Step “across the pond” to US records to help track down your immigrant Irish family. Hear about all the websites dedicated to your Irish research. Who knows…maybe you will find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
