how can I find out about irish family members

Welcome to Rootschat

You would need to provide more info such as birthyears,  where in Ireland etc etc

The 1901 and 1911 censuses are free here

Some BMD info can be found at www.familysearch.org

Rootschat has a no living persons policy so please do not post details of anybody who may still be alive

Hi there welcome!

It depends what you want to find out, but there are a lot of well knowing people on this forum, who could point you in the right direction...Irish research is difficult ..missing records etc.
Names of the deceased, also places in Ireland, occupations and religion are all important.

Start with what you know for certain, information from family members etc.

Fingers crossed you find your family.

You might find this helpful before you start on your quest...

Talk to your family. It makes no sense to spend days trawling through websites to find out your great-grandmother's surname if someone in the family already knows it. So first, talk to parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and find out what they know. Most families have at least one individual who keeps track of the extended network of relatives, and if you can trace her (it usually is a her), you're off to a good start.

The only cast-iron rule of family history is that you start from what you know and use it to find out more. It is almost impossible to take a historical family and try to uncover what your connection might be. Instead, think of yourself as a detective, taking each item of information as potential evidence and using it to track down more information that in turn becomes evidence for further research.

Good luck and enjoy
