Your Past, Our Findings, and Your Journey

Very memorable, and highly recommended. - Many thanks to Sean, Aisling, and Ian for their efforts in organizing our recent trip to Ireland. It was a fantastic experience for all 4 of us: my wife,... read more my daughter, my son, and me. It's quite impactful to be able to walk in the same locations where our ancestors lived their lives almost 200 years ago.

We spent three days with our tour guide Ian, who is very informative with a great sense of humor. The first day we did a historical tour of County Meath in which we visited several ancient castles and abbeys; the site of the Battle of the Boyne; and the ancient burial site at Newgrange, which predates Stonehenge.

The second day we traveled to County Mayo to visit the birthplace of my wife's great grandfather, where we were able to find the old family home and the church they attended. Ian did a great job of interacting with a couple of the local residents who welcomed us and gave us some insight into the history of the area,.

The third day we traveled to County Louth to visit the birthplace of my great-great grandfather. We saw the church and the school that he attended, found the likely gravestone of my great-great-great grandmother, and visited the area where the family home once stood. We also visited some interesting historical sites along the way including St Brigid's Shrine, and Tara, which served as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland for many centuries.

All in all, it was a very memorable experience, and highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn about and see the places where their Irish ancestors once lived.

Visiting our ancestors family homestead sites  - The team at My Ireland Family Heritage did a wonderful job researching our ancestral roots. At our consultation appointment with Sean, he presented us with a beautiful keepsake book. Nicola... read more sent us Eircodes to plug into Google Maps for pinpoint accuracy in finding our family homesteads. We even met relatives still living on the property 200 years later!

Great experience tracing family roots!  - We've been wanting to visit Ireland for years, so when the trip came together we figured it would be an amazing opportunity to learn more about our ancestry. Sean, Nicola,... read more and Aisling pulled together such great information. All we knew before was the name of my 3rd great grandfather, the townland where he lived, and what year he emigrated to the U.S. We went with the research snapshot package where we received Eircodes to drive on our own to where the family lived in the 1800s. The old stone buildings were still there and it's still operating as a farm today with cows and sheep! Sean also gave us the eircode for a local graveyard (starting in the 1700s) that was on a back road behind a stone fence we never would've known about on our own. We were so surprised to find 4 gravestones related to our ancestors!! This combined with the booklet of information on the family and other advice from Sean and Aisling to visit historically significant sites in the area made it an amazing visit and capped off our trip to Ireland with our 9 year old son. What an adventure!! Now we just keep talking about going back someday. And we have information to share and pass down to other family members, which is such a treasure.

Amazing experience thanks to Seán, Aisling, and Ian!  - With the amount of research and communication Seán, Aisling, and Ian provided, the genealogy trip I went on with my family far exceeded my expectations and truly gave me a... read more sense of how and where my ancestors lived. This was such a wonderful experience, and I can’t thank Seán, Aisling, and Ian at My Ireland Family Heritage enough. Thank you for helping us create such an exquisite trip!

Great your!  - What a great group to work with! From Sean, Aisling with research to Ian being our guide, they were all great! If you are looking to find where your ancestors... read more came from, I would totally recommend using their business!

Made Our Irish Vacation Truly Unforgettable!  - What an amazing experience this was! My Dad has a passion for geneology and we saw My Ireland Heritage in our Rick Steves Ireland guidebook, so we knew this would... read more be a fantastic addition to our Ireland trip!

The process was very enjoyable throughout. We contacted Aisling 6 months in advance of our trip and gave her our preliminary research about our ancestors. Then, we corresponded with Sean, Aisling, and Nicola as they and their team researched the ancestors we wanted to learn about. After some time when they had a good idea of the research, we discussed pricing and selected a research package.

Not only did we get a book featuring many details of our ancestors’ lives, but, with the package we selected (Consultation Package with Eircodes), they sent us the Eircodes of significant locations in our ancestors’ lives!

When we got to Ireland, Sean came to our AirBnB in Dublin to give us a lively breakdown of the history of our ancestors that they uncovered. And then we were able to drive ourselves to the exact places our ancestors lived almost 200 years ago!

This made our Irish vacation truly unforgettable! Highly recommend this for anyone going to Ireland who wants to learn more about their personal slice of Irish history!

The day brought tears to his eyes! - I had Sean and Aisling research my husband's Irish heritage 6-8 months prior to a planned trip to Ireland. We also booked a Heritage Tour led by Ian. It... read more was an amazing experience learning about his family and walking in their footsteps around county Mayo. My husband's reaction was that the research and tour exceeded his expectations and "to sum it up it was excellent"!

Following our past in Northern Ireland  - We recently worked with Sean, Aisling and Ian at My Ireland Heritage to trace our Irish past. Sean was able to identify a number of ancestors from the information I... read more already had on my own, and to establish the location of several of them in Northern Ireland. This was great! We opted to participate in an all day tour visiting important locations that spoke to our ancestors' lives. Aisling efficiently handled our logistics and Ian was our tour guide for the day. Ian is a gregarious fellow and he had lots of stories to entertain us as we did have to travel a good deal in the car that day. He did a great job of finally locating our great great grandparent's gravesite in an abandoned cemetery of an long abandoned stone church. This took a lot of effort on his part as he had to go to many other potential locations. A another real highlight was visiting the land our great great grandparents farmed! While we did spend a lot of time in the car that day, we had a very good time and it was well worth the time spent. The beautifully bound books that are available to keep at the end of the tour document all their findings. What a treasure!

Best of the Best  - Gail and I just returned from two weeks in Ireland—our first trip there. The highlight of our trip were the tours arranged by My Ireland Heritage. Ian took us... read more to the ancestral homeland of Gail’s family; we even met a distant relative on a hillside overlooking the Irish Sea. Working with Aisling and her research team and touring with Ian are something you will never forget. We also took and highly recommend the tour of Newgrange, Hill of Tara, Trim Castle, etc.

Amazing Experience!  - My Ireland Heritage exceeded all of our expectations. From the coordination before the trip, to the research done in amazing detail, to the thoroughly enjoyable three days we spent... read more exploring the area our family comes from, this trip was amazing. Thank you to Aisling, Sean and Ian!
