What Our Genealogy Services Offer

FAMILY TREE

A family tree creates the link between living people and their ancestors from past generations.
A family tree is also a gift to future generations with a documented record of linage creating an unbroken chain between the past, the present and the future.

A detailed report

I create detailed genealogy reports, connecting people with their Irish ancestors through careful researching Ireland’s important genealogical records. Every report is built using a wide range of sources, including census returns, civil birth, marriage, and death records, church parish registers, land and property records, newspaper archives, burial and grave records and sometimes locally held materials. By cross-referencing these sources, I strive to structure family connections, timelines and places, while ensuring the research is thorough, accurate and based on original documentation.
The completed report will set out your family’s Irish genealogy in a clear format, complete with copies of original documents, certificates and records used in the research. Charts will visually illustrate relationships across generations, making the information descriptive and easy to follow. Each report seeks to create a lasting record that links people of today with past generations of their Irish ancestors.

A digital book / ebook

With completed Irish family genealogy research, I can present the content in Digital Book / eBook format. This format brings together in one clear lasting narrative, a wide range of Irish records. The finished Digital Book / eBook is a tangible family heirloom. It includes family charts, timelines, and photographs (where available or supplied), all thoughtfully arranged to tell your family’s story in a way that is engaging and easy to follow. Designed to be both digital for screens (computer, table or phone) and print-ready, this keepsake can be preserved, shared and passed down to future generations, allowing them to see, read and connect through digital format with their Irish roots for years to come.
