There are certain tricks and tips you can use to get ahead in Irish genealogy. Expert, Fiona Fitzsimons, is here to tell you more.
Is it possible to do Irish family history research when so many historical records have been destroyed? Join Irish Family History Centre's Fiona Fitzsimons in our video masterclass, as she passes on the knowledge that will help you find those elusive Irish ancestors.
Fiona Fitzsimons has been carrying out Irish genealogy research for over 25 years. What she doesn't know about Irish ancestry isn't worth knowing. So much so, in fact, that President Barack Obama even commissioned Fiona to delve into his Irish family tree.
In this video masterclass, Fiona discusses how to get started in Irish family history, specifically honing in on:
Online research - searching widely and deeply
Irish family customs, practices and traditions that may have left your ancestors hidden in the records
Strategies to locate an individual or family of interest
Records you may not have considered that help to bridge the gaps
