Getting Started

Get organised and record your findings

If you are just getting started on your Irish family history research, we have resources and forms to help you.

Organisation is vital to help you to stay on top of your research and the forms below are designed to help you to do just that. Ensure you record everything you find as soon as possible and always make a note of the source. The relationship chart shows you how people are related to each other and helps you to figure out those cousins twice removed.

It is important to record your information properly. Take a few minutes to read our hints and tips.

You may also wish to explore the booklets for sale in our Shop. The Introductory series will guide you through the information freely available to get you on your way and the County series gives you an in depth look at resources available for many of the counties in Ulster.
