Ireland is one of the most popular destinations in the world for people tracing their family history, and Dublin is the best place to start. This personal consultation pairs you with a professional genealogist who can cut through the confusion of online databases, missing records, and dead-end branches to get your research moving in the right direction.
The session runs for 50 minutes, one-to-one, and starts with the genealogist understanding where you are in your journey. Whether you have a box of old documents and no idea where to begin, or you have been researching for years and hit a wall, they meet you where you are. Their expertise covers all the major Irish genealogical databases and offline repositories, so they can identify record sources you may not have known existed and create a clear strategy for your next steps.
By the end of the consultation, you will have a route map for your research - specific records to check, databases to search, and approaches to try. The genealogists are honest about the challenges too. Irish records from the 18th century and earlier are patchy due to historical events, and they will let you know upfront if that is likely to affect your search. It is a practical, expert-led session that leaves you with renewed energy and a clear plan.
