I don’t
mean your dark, blonde, or gray roots; I’m talking your Hibernian or Celtic
roots. Well, let me share with you some
on-line resources to help you. Many are
free. The ones I’ve listed below that
are not, I have annotated as such. Site
such as Ancestry.com of course, are not free and you do need to have some idea
where your ancestors, Irish or not, came from and ideas of dates and areas of
birth and/or residence to make progress, but they can be very helpful if you
can spend the money and might be a good kick starter place. You can keep the information once you leave
the site after your subscription ends.
Good
look with your search. Check back with
me in the future for how to find your Mexican and Hispanic roots as that is my
next venture.
