CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH THEIR IRISH ROOTS
Coming Up Next - September
Join the Irish Family History Society
The Irish Family History Society (IFHS) is a voluntary non-profit making organisation, established in 1984. We are based in Ireland, but open to anyone who is interested in looking to trace their Irish roots, wherever in the world they are based.
We’re a welcoming community of like-minded family historians who value collaboration and sharing of knowledge.
Full benefits on the About Us page.
Members have access to the world’s first AI-powered Irish family history research assistant, Ask GRÁinne. She can help create strategies for your research and answer questions related to research directions or about records related to specific places or time periods. Join Us to find out more.
