Picture"Me ...aged 4!"
Ruth Mathewson
Principal Genealogist

I am an experienced genealogist with my own research and coaching business, Kindred Ancestry, which you can find out more about on my main website - just click the name in purple above.




Picture"Me ... aged a lot more than 4!"
With a degree in geography, an artistic streak, a commercial background in designing databases and marketing consultancy and a new-found passion for genealogy​, I have brought all of theses experiences together in creating this website.  Oh, and did I mention, I love to cook and own too many cookbooks?!  Love it, or loathe it, I hope you find Irish Geneaography memorable and above all, useful, dare I say indispensable, for your own Irish family history research.  I will endeavour to keep the site up to date with all the latest links, share my own research experiences and tips and craft new finding aids to help you find the records you need. 

If you would like to get in touch with me, then please use my Contact form and I'll be sure to reply as soon as I can.
