FREE Resources to Trace Your Irish Genealogy

St. Patrick’s Day may have passed, and March is still Irish-American Heritage Month . . . but I’m always working on tracing my Irish roots. Whether it is my Slatterys, my O’Keefe’s or even my MacEntee’s, from time to time I need help making real progress,

Here is a list of some recent finds out on the Internet – all available for FREE!

Ancestry.com

Periodically Ancestry.com posts free PDF “cheat sheets” with TONS of information. These aren’t always easy to find, but with some clever sleuthing (and the “luck of the Irish”), here is what I found:

• Finding Your Irish Immigrant Ancestor (8 pages) https://www.genealogybargains.com/ancestry-findingirishancestors

• 10 Places to Find Your Irish Ancestor in America (3 pages)

• Finding Your Ancestors from the UK and Ireland (8 pages)

Findmypast

Did you know that you can SEARCH and look at documents in Findmypast for FREE? You only need to purchase credits or buy a subscription if you want to get the image and further details. In my opinion, Findmypast is one of the most under-rated and under-used resources!
