Ancestral Research Assessment Questionnaire

An Initial Ancestral Research Assessment explores the feasibility of archival research by identifying sources of potential relevance for your family history. It is often a good idea to commission only a couple of hours to begin with. This will facilitate some work to be done and for a research plan to be drawn up based on results, the information you have and the survival of records which appear relevant. This can also be a useful starting point if you wish to undertake some or all of your own research.

A Detailed Research Package can be tailored to suit your individual requirements, whether you wish to build up an individual profile of an ancestor or search a particular family line (which can include extended family members if you wish) or search an individual set of records. This may include archives held throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. This can be useful for clients who wish to carry out the majority of their own research but for time/geographical reasons are unable to search an individual set of parish records or visit a particular grave yard.
