With March now officially declared Irish-American Heritage Month<\/a> once again, are you dreaming of walking in your Irish ancestors\u2019 footsteps? Walking on a cobblestoned street in Cork? Seeing your great-grandparents\u2019 cottage in Mayo? Or reuniting with distant cousins in Dublin?<\/p>\n

If that sounds like you, you\u2019re probably one of the 70 million<\/a> people around the world with Irish roots. For many Irish Americans, a trip to the Emerald Isle is top of their bucket list \u2014 a unique opportunity to rediscover the land, culture and people they\u2019re deeply connected to.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of flying to Ireland<\/a> and diving into your Irish genealogy and heritage, we have eight ways to make it a magical trip for you and your family. From finding your surname online to visiting your family\u2019s hometown and tasting a pint of the \u201cblack stuff<\/a>\u201d, we can help you uncover your origins, maximise your time abroad and explore the special relationship between Ireland and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

How to Trace Your Irish Ancestry<\/h2>\n

1. Search online Irish genealogy resources<\/h3>\n

Kick off your research early by visiting genealogy sites like Ancestry<\/a> or FindMyPast<\/a> before you leave home. Search for your family\u2019s surname, and then narrow down by location, time and even ships\u2019 manifestos. If you\u2019re lucky, you could find existing research, uploaded photographs and entire family trees created by other amateur genealogists. There\u2019s no better way to see your family\u2019s stories come to life.<\/p>\n

2. Short-list local Irish Ancestry resources<\/h3>\n

Before you set off, think about making an appointment to visit the National Archive<\/a>s in Dublin<\/a>. Ireland\u2019s unique history means that many official records are missing, but the rest are safeguarded in government archives. You can also reach out to local libraries and churches, which usually have baptism books and marriage records, often dating back centuries. Make sure to bring a camera in case you discover your ancestors\u2019 signature in one of those heavy old books.<\/p>\n

3. Connect with locals<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019ve settled on a city, town or village to explore, reach out to local interest groups<\/a> online. They often have a wealth of knowledge and fascinating oral histories that could help you uncover new details about your family\u2019s roots. Social media is a great place to start a chat. You never know where \u2014 or to whom \u2014 it might lead! You can also contribute your own information to help historians build a picture of where the sons and daughters of Ireland built new lives.<\/p>\n

4. Visit your ancestral home<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve safely landed on the \u201coul sod\u201d, make your way to the village or town your ancestors once lived in. You might be able to find the old stone cottage your great-grandfather was born in, visit the local school he attended and soak up the history of your ancestral home. If you\u2019re very lucky, you might even meet some older people who once knew your kin \u2014 the local pub is a great place to start those conversations.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

\"\"Co. Mayo, Ireland<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

5. Dive into Irish culture<\/h3>\n

Wherever you stay, and however you travel, you\u2019ll soon realise that one of the best things about visiting Ireland<\/a> is its music, song and dance. You can catch a traditional music gig, a local festival or an Irish dancing session in local pubs almost every weekend, especially along the Wild Atlantic Way<\/a>. Immersing yourself in the culture of your people will help you feel connected to them, even across multiple generations.<\/p>\n

6. Enjoy authentic Irish food<\/h3>\n

Take a break from your research to fill your bell<\/a>y and nourish your soul at the many food markets, pubs, caf\u00e9s and restaurants<\/a> around the country. Eat like your ancestors and enjoy award-winning farmhouse cheeses, homebaked bread and fresh seafood or pick up some tasty souvenirs for family back home. And don\u2019t forget to stop by the Guinness Storehouse<\/a> while you\u2019re in Dublin!<\/p>\n

\"\"Giant’s Causeway, Co. Antrim<\/p>\n

7. Take in the sights<\/h3>\n

No visit to Ireland would be complete without seeing the breathtaking scenery. Walk in your ancestors\u2019 footsteps at the Cliffs of Moher in Clare, take a horse and cart around the stunning Ring of Kerry<\/a> or climb the Giant\u2019s Causeway<\/a> in Northern Ireland. If you fancy something different, there are lots of hidden gems<\/a> to uncover too, including sailing the Shannon or surfing in Sligo.<\/p>\n

8. Learn about Irish history<\/h3>\n

Round out your trip by expanding your knowledge about Ireland, its culture and its diaspora. The National Museum of Ireland, EPIC (The Irish Emigration Museum)<\/a> and the Irish National Heritage Park<\/a> are all great places to start. You might even find your own surname among the many Irish people who made their mark on the world \u2014 through politics, literature, music, art and more.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
