Why Take This Course?
It can be extremely frustrating searching the Irish records. It is easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed and throw in the towel before you make any significant progress. There are lots of missing records. The variant spelling (and the misspelling) of first names and surnames is a complete nightmare. The anglicisation of old Irish names add an additional complexity and challenge for us family historians.
This course, and indeed, all my courses, help take the pain out of searching the Irish records by cutting out the jargon and too much information, getting straight to the point, helping you understand the records and how to search, navigate and interpret them. My aim to to make your research journey a less daunting experience.
So, if you are struggling to see the light, this introduction course on birth records can really help you on Your Irish Family History journey. You have access to the course for 3 months so you have plenty of time to complete it !
