This taster lecture will provide concrete examples of family history research in Ireland and highlight some useful tips and techniques. With researching family history becoming increasingly popular this lecture can help get you started and whet your appetite for the more detailed training available on the lifelong learning course. The course itself offers an introduction to researching family history in Ireland. In doing so it acquaints learners with the methods and sources for conducting effective family history research and places a strong emphasis on examining online Irish genealogical sources, particularly those dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
