Welcome to Irish Geneaography

Ok, I know that's a completely made up word and unlikely to earn me lots of Google hits, but I like it - it sums up for me the way that you need to think about your family history being a product of time and place. 

Personally, I think there are too many lists to wade through when it comes to searching online, and sadly due to the perennially complex issue of map copyright, I've had to resort to lots of lists on this website too.  But all those lovely green labels are your stepping stones to other great websites that I have found to be great for researching Irish family History and yes, some of them have splendid maps and novel ways of using them to explore our ancestors pasts.

This is most definitely a "work-in-progress" website as there is quite a lot of information to organise for each county, but keep visiting regularly as I publish more county "recipes".  I'll also be publishing my tips, advice and comments on all things Irish in the world of genealogy on this blog too.

Do let me know if you find the website useful and help me to make it better with your suggestions for links to great new online Irish resources.
