What is Irish Researchers?
Irish Researchers is a team of professional genealogists, founded in 2015, who trace Irish ancestry through civil, parish, census and archival records in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our researchers work on the ground in Irish archives and are members of Accredited Genealogists Ireland (AGI), so clients get records that online databases such as Ancestry cannot reach. Irish Researchers is owned and operated by RecordClick.

- Free preliminary search: we check the records first, so we can confirm we can deliver results.
- Work with your genealogist: if you hire us, we assign a genealogist to your project and give you their direct contact details.
- Get your report: you can ask questions during the search, and at the end you receive a full written report with sourced records.
