Hello Donna Jean,
We love to hear that people are looking to trace their Irish roots!
The best place to start with your research is to establish a good paper trail of Birth, Marriage, and Death certifications, starting with your own and your parents and their parents and so forth.
There are a number of previous community posts on
Helpful Resources and a
Three Step Guide that would be wonderful reference points as well.
Have you ever taken a DNA test?
I am sure other members will have some helpful suggestions to help you on your way.
Speak soon,
Martin
