Difficult to give much advice without more information- really depends on the period to start with (before or after the start of full civil registration- 1964).

When you do trace family back to Ireland you will need to know their religion and where they lived (townland if not actual parish).

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
