Dave is a Wisconsin-based professional genealogist with deep connections in Ireland, and the host of our podcast This Month at the IGSI (irishgenealogical.org/cpage.php?pt=174), He will share his strategies for mining this vast archive of ancestral records.
The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) archive in Belfast contains millions of historical and genealogical documents that date back centuries. It can be of great value to the genealogist and family historian, and these records are not limited to what we now know as Northern Ireland!
Dave will discuss both online and in-person visit to find essential records of your ancestors. He will provide examples of the records that are available from his own research. Don’t forget, as a researcher, that the place we know as “Ireland” has changed greatly over the centuries, and your crucial records can appear in unexpected places!
Audience level: all
The Discount Code will be sent to members via email and is posted on IGSI’s member-only webpage (link). You can reach the IGSI Education team at Education@IrishGenealogical.org
