Trying to find my ggrandfathers ancestors in Ireland

Hi Patti,

Thanks for your message. Have you tried looking at church records? There are some available online:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only some places have been covered, Dublin city being one of them.

During your visit, I suggest that you call to the National Library n Kildare St. in Dublin. They offer a free genealogy advice service in the mornings and it may be a good place to start your research once you are here! Follow this link for more info:
