In order to find information on your Irish ancestors, you will need to do as much research as you can here in the United States. Events in the lives of your ancestors, including births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths could have been officially recorded at the time they took place, but in many cases, you need to know exactly where an event took place in order to find a record of it. If you don't know the place, the answer might be on the paper trail your ancestor left behind here in the US. This program will help show you different resources and examples of that paper trail. I have been following the "paper trail" of my ancestors since 1991 - I hope that my experiences will help you find that "golden nugget" to help you in your research!
