All

i can not thank you enough for all of your help. I have been away so just starting to work through all of this again. working out the different sources is really important as not only am i discovering new details for my friend but I am also able to start to research my husbands irish descendants. Iy is going to take several days (weeks?) to go through everything - so thank you again.

:)

Irish research can be very simple.... the difficult thing is finding Where to look

For example... the District Office they would have Registered BDM'S.  In your case New Ross.


Like Sinann, I too get the impression you enjoy the hunt.

You want to research your husband's family... if from another location, you will, when ready, need that District Office for Civil Registrations.

I obviously did check to see if Michael was there before posting how to find him, as an example of how easy it is and get you off to a good start!

Good hunting!

I just want to thank you all very much for the hints and tips you have given me to research Irish ancestors for the first time. I have managed to trace 219 members of the family with confidence all but two are the right people. Back 7 generations to 1692.

I am going next week to present my findings to my friend and I know it will be an emotional evening!

thank you again. What fun I have had!

Tell them they are extremely lucky to have family from Wexford, not many get back past 1800 in Ireland.
1692 is WOW.
Well done.
