Great Great grand parents

Hi thanks for your message and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.

Do you have any further information on your great great grand parents relating to when they were in Ireland? Do you have any documents that mentions a parish or a townland as this would really help when looking for information? Religious denomination is also important in determining which records are relevant to your research.

Do you know anything more about their emigration? Often more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure . If you knew which city they arrived at  this could be a good place to find more information. And perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.

A website that may be helpful to you is that of the Library and Archives of Canada. You can access this here:

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
