Kimberly is the Genealogy Researcher/writer for About.com. In this article she lists 12 websites for Irish research.. timely indeed since we have just passed St. Patty’s day. You can read the full article here. What I like in this list is that there are some that are free and I didn’t know about (Wow the internet is really expanding) with new resources all the time. I always enjoy Kimberly’s articles because her research is timely and relevant. Keep up the great work! Have you found a resource for Irish Research not listed on our site or in Kim’s article? Let me know below, I would love to list it and share with all our readers! Share

Executive Editor Loretto (Lou) Dennis Sucs has posted a great list of 300 Family History Sources on the Ancestry Blog that you may find interesting and give you some additional places you may not have thought of for missing family. If you have any that are missing from the list let me know by commenting below so that we can help other researchers. Enjoy Share
