Tracing Your Irish Ancestors

I don’t think many people appreciate how difficult it can be to research Irish ancestors. Two years ago, I wrote a blog-post series for Family Locket on this topic, and with Saint Patrick’s Day around the corner I thought it fitting to share here. If you’re on a quest to find your Irish roots (and you have the dedication and patience for it), I hope you find this helpful!
