Family History & Record Search

Discover the people, places and stories behind your family history with professional genealogical research tailored to your individual case.

Every family has a unique story. You may want to identify an unknown ancestor, confirm a family connection, discover where your family came from, locate an important historical record, or continue research that has reached a dead end. Our Family History and Record Search service is designed for both new and experienced family-history researchers who need professional assistance taking their research further.

Discover Your Irish Family History

Irish family history can be particularly challenging. Records may be incomplete, names and spellings may have changed over generations, families may have moved between locations, and important information may no longer be available through the most commonly used genealogy websites.

Irish Roots Tracing provides professional research based on the individual circumstances of your family. Rather than offering generic database searches, each case is approached according to the information available and the specific questions you would like answered.

Research may help you discover previously unknown ancestors, confirm family relationships, identify important locations connected with your family, extend existing family lines, or uncover records that add new detail to your family's history.

Your Family Story May Lead Anywhere


Although many of our clients are searching for Irish ancestry, family history rarely stops at one country's borders.

Generations of migration have created Irish family connections throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and many other parts of the world. Our research is therefore not limited to families who remained in Ireland.

Whether your ancestors left Ireland recently or several generations ago, we can investigate family connections wherever the available evidence leads.

Difficult and Long-Standing Family Mysteries

You may already have spent years researching your family and reached a point where you cannot progress further. Perhaps an ancestor seems to disappear from the records, you cannot identify the correct family, conflicting information has created uncertainty, or an important family connection remains unexplained.

These are exactly the types of cases where professional genealogical research can be valuable.

We also assist clients who simply do not have the time or experience to conduct extensive research themselves.

Every case is different, and no particular discovery can be guaranteed. Our goal is to investigate your Irish family history professionally, follow the available evidence and provide you with clear research findings that help you better understand your family's past.
