IrishConducted by Elizabeth Steinlein.
Our Irish Interest Group is attended by many passionate Irish descendants searching for their families’ origins! They are a great encouragement to each other as they share the information and stories they have found so far. All the main sets of Irish records are free on line for anyone to search. There is always someone to explain these records or guide you as to their use. We have listed and mapped our members’ interests and will happily introduce new members to others who share a family name or townland/county where your family may have originated.
