Dublin Onward: Kickstart Your Irish Genealogy Adventure with an Airport Consultation

Your Irish heritage adventure doesn’t have to wait. With our Dublin genealogy consultation, we offer a seamless and empowering way to begin your personalised, self-drive exploration of your roots—directly from Dublin Airport or your hotel. This in-person consultation is designed to give you the tools, confidence, and insight you need before setting out across the country in search of your ancestors.

Whether you’re visiting a quiet village in County Mayo or tracing your family name through historical archives, this initial session grounds your experience in expert context. Think of it as your launchpad—a professional, face-to-face briefing on everything our research has uncovered about your family history and how best to explore it on the road.

Why a Dublin Consultation Makes All the Difference

At My Ireland Family Heritage, we understand that the first few hours of a trip can shape the entire experience. That’s why our Dublin genealogy consultation is designed to be flexible, efficient, and entirely focused on you. We meet you shortly after you land or arrive at your hotel, ready to walk you through the research findings, suggested routes, key historical stops, and tips for connecting with local heritage.

You’ll receive a keepsake book including maps, ancestral place names, background on family members uncovered through our genealogy research in Ireland, and detailed instructions for visiting local cemeteries, churches, and homesteads. This isn’t a generic tour—it’s a custom roadmap to your own history.

A Personal Welcome to Ireland, Rooted in Research

Our team invests weeks, sometimes months, in pre-trip Irish genealogy research before you even step on the plane. The airport consultation is where that work becomes real—your chance to ask questions, clarify details, and gain context about what you’ll soon experience on your own.

Whether your journey takes you to the south or requires Northern Ireland genealogy research, the guidance you receive during this meeting ensures you’re prepared to make the most of your time. For many, this combination of independence and expert support represents the future of genealogy tourism in Ireland—personal, flexible, and deeply meaningful.

Once in a lifetime experience

Oct 2024 • Family

We highly recommend My Ireland Heritage for anyone who wants to learn and be guided to their Irish “roots” and much, much more. Sean Quinn and Ian Darragh of My Ireland Family Heritage have deep knowledge or the areas we wanted to visit in Meath, Sligo and Kilkenny. While we knew about one side of the family history back to 1690, there was nothing known about the other that arrived in the US in the 1870s.

Ian, Sean, and Nicola did thorough research on our localities and locations from which our ancestors left for America in 1849 and later. In addition, Ian and Sean did separate day-long “recons” in advance of our time with them, seeking out local people and the specific properties with maps and whatever records still available. Their results were absolutely outstanding! In both our cases, they found and took us to our still-existing cottages and shops from the early 1820s.

It was so enjoyable to be with Ian for three days and for a special day with Sean. Whether it was the Newgrange World Heritage sites 5,500 years old , the Battle of the Boyne 1690 , or the local cemeteries and churches of our ancestors. Ian was especially attentive to my wife throughout the travels after she twisted her ankle in a rain-soaked old cemetery.

Throughout the process of trip preparation over months to giving us the final, wonderful books of Meath and Sligo, Aisling was highly professional and responsive with all the many details. The bound books she prepared are treasures! Thanks to all for truly exceptional experiences.

Review of My Ireland Heritage Tours Presented on Trip adviser by Shelley L @ sjlively

Exceptional in every way!

Over the last few months of preparing for our trip, every single detail was meticulously attended, not only professionally, but helpfully, and in such a friendly manner, that I felt as if I knew Sean, Aisling and Ian before I even stepped off the plane.

The amount of work these wonderful people put into our personal history is mindboggling. My mother was an avid amateur genealogist, and had worked for decades to bring to light the trail our family took, but our resources are limited.

Sean knows exactly where to look, and was able to fill in so many gaps that had eluded us for generations. Some of the information he found, unbeknownst even to him, actually solidified the findings we had amassed over the years. Ours was a family in coal mining – I only found on our tour that they had originated from a mining area, and their arrival on the  border coincided exactly with the decline in the mining industry in County Wicklow.

I would have been overjoyed simply with the knowledge of why they left when they did, about 12 years before the famine. Breaking through our brick wall of great grandparents even farther back on the family tree was a dream come true, but to be able to set foot on not only the area they lived, and find that the house is still there was overwhelming. Seeing the family church and cemetery where our ancestors and extended family still rest is a truly moving experience.

The care taken by this company in each and every aspect of the journey cannot be overstated. Only about 2 weeks prior to my trip, Sean contacted me to let me know that he had also stumbled across some of my husband’s family name in the process and included them as well in his research. How often can anyone say that they not only got what they paid for, but more than they ever imagined? I can say that. They were even kind enough to answer a few follow-up questions after my return home, as I was so stunned on my tour with Ian that I didn’t think ask at the time.If you have the opportunity to make the trip to Ireland, contact My Ireland Family Heritage before you go.

If your family was there, Sean will go above and beyond to find them. Even without family, contact them anyway. Ian is a walking encyclopedia of history, and so fun to talk to. Aisling will make sure every “I” is dotted, and every “T” is crossed.  Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime, and the opportunity to pass on everything we have discovered to future generations
