Foundations of Irish Genealogy: Part 1 — The Major Records

Build a rock-solid foundation in Irish family history! This six-part series starts with the essentials—surnames, place-names, and the truth about the 1922 records fire—then guides you through Ireland's four major record sets: civil registration, censuses, church records, and nineteenth-century property records. Finally, learn to weave them together to reconstruct your family across generations. Your journey into your Irish roots starts here!
