Blogs, Newsletters & Forums

Here are links to some of my favourite blogs for keeping up with all the Irish genealogy news and gossip.

  • Irish Genealogy News = Claire Santry's topical Irish blog.
  • Irish Roots  = John Grenham's blog published on his own website.
  • British Genes = Chris Paton's virtually daily blog on British genealogy news, including Ireland.  Email newsletter recommended
  • Irish Lives Remembered = This e-magazine is now published bi-monthly and often focuses on particular counties at a time.

There are several forums and message boards which might prove both happy hunting grounds for information posted incidentally about relatives you are seeking or for you to post a query yourself, for which you will probably have to register or be a member of the relevant Society.
  • Rootsweb = Ancestry's worldwide message board with thousands of threads and posts.  Be inventive with how you query with keywords to sift out the treasure from the rest.  Note, this site experienced a security breach in late 2017 but the home page dialogue is detailing all the measures they are taking to bring all of it back online safely.
  • IGRS Forum = The Irish Genealogical Research Society has made their Members Forum free to view in a bid to have the queries reach as wide and audience as possible.  However, if you want to post a query or reply, you will need to be a member of the Society.
