Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Irish Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 7

Unless your family has never left Ireland, the very first step in researching your Irish family history is to trace back to your migrant ancestor. Although there are many reasons why the Irish have spread so widely across the world, the Great Famine of the 1840s accounts for over 2 million people alone – and you may very well find that one of these migrants was your ancestor. For those who already know where their Irish ancestors lived, this section will be useful for tracing down other branches to find relatives living all around the world.
