Genealogy and Family History Research in Northern Ireland
If you are of Irish blood then you are almost certainly proud of the fact. Today a growing number of people all around the World feel the need to seek out their family roots here in Ireland no matter how humble these origins may have been.Nothing could be more natural for civilised man to take a keen interest in his or her ancestors. We have, as never before, a desire to pass on to future generations the fleeting memories and mysteries of generations gone before.
We want to know what kind of people our ancestors were, their names, how and where and when they lived. What led to the unimaginable decision to leave behind all that they held
dear and embark on long dangerous journeys to strange lands they knew nothing of, often with little more than the clothes they stood up in? We today stand as living proof of the courage and endurance of these our forbearers.
Ulster Ancestry undertake family history research here in the Province of
Ulster primarily in the Counties of Antrim, Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Down, Londonderry/Derry and Donegal.
Using the archives at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland with it's numerous family pedigrees, family notes, wills, land records ,deeds, leases, and most importantly both Catholic and Protestant Parish Church records of birth and marriage we endeavour to put our clients in touch once again with their early family here in Ireland. If you prefer to conduct your own family research you can save a considerable amount of time and greatly increase your chances of success by requesting an "Initial Report". In this Initial Report we will look for evidence of your family in the most important 19th century Irish genealogical resources , The Tithe Applotment Books (1824-1853) and Griffth’s Valuation of Ireland (1848-1864). We will tell you where and when your ancestors name is recorded in these records. We will also provide you with detailed information on available Church records for your ancestor’s Parish including what is available and what years are covered. (This report is available for all the Ulster Counties)
