Only a few days remain before St Patrick’s Day--when everyone wants to discover their Irishness! 

Here are some ways to spend part of the weekend exploring your Irish ancestry:

• Today is Irish Saturday at the Hoffman Research Library, located at the Minnesota Genealogy Center, 1385 Mendota Heights Rd near the MSP airport. Stop by between 10am and 4 pm to receive help with your Irish research or visit with IGSI volunteers. Directions are available at this link.
• Can’t make it to the library? Read “Three expert tips for finding out more about your Irish genealogy”
• Stuck by a brick wall? Accredited Genealogists Ireland (AGI), an organization of professional genealogists in Ireland, has published a new resource on Ireland's Census returns in the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI). Check out their explanations and research guidance here.
