Curious about your Irish ancestors? Before you make the most of our free access to the Irish Catholic Parish Records (ancstry.me/1Qkunc5), here are some handy tips for getting started with your research.

Begin with what you know and start by speaking with your family. We also suggest visiting a cemetery where your family are buried as well as local archives and resources. The next step is to bring that information together and begin building your family tree on Ancestry, where you can also access 55 million Irish historical records to support your research.
