Irish Family History Society

Connecting People With Their Irish Roots

About the Society

Our objectives

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.  

Our objectives are:

  • To promote the study of Irish family history and genealogy.
  • To promote the preservation, security and accessibility of archival material.
  • To promote the recording of gravestone inscriptions.
  • To advise all those interested in seeking their Irish roots.
  • To encourage the repatriation of information from overseas on Irish emigrants.
  • To collaborate with and support other societies with similar aims.
