Reliving Irish History: Step Back in Time on an Ancestral Tour 

An ancestral tour of Ireland offers a captivating way to connect with your heritage and walk in the footsteps of your forebears. These bespoke experiences blend genealogy, storytelling, and travel to provide a profound understanding of your family’s roots.

Whether your lineage ties to Donegal’s rugged coastlines or Wexford’s historic towns, ancestral tours offer an intimate connection to Ireland’s past.

Discover Your Roots Through Personalised Ancestral Tours

1. Tracing Your Family Legacy

Ireland’s landscapes hold the keys to many personal histories. Exploring regions like County Mayo or County Meath genealogy reveals fascinating details about ancestors who shaped your lineage. Personalised tours bring these stories to life, creating a deeper appreciation of your Irish heritage.

2. Connecting with Historical Sites

Ancestral tours incorporate visits to significant landmarks, churches, and ancestral homesteads. Discover the richness of County Clare genealogy or delve into Tipperary family history research, learning how these locations influenced your ancestors’ lives.

3. The Role of County Archives

Archives in places like Donegal and Galway offer a wealth of records. For those exploring County Donegal or County Galway genealogy, these resources are vital in uncovering family connections. Combining research with on-site exploration creates a seamless narrative of your ancestry.

4. Wexford’s Maritime Heritage

For those whose ancestors hailed from the southeast, County Wexford genealogy unravels tales of seafaring, trade, and resilience. Visiting ports and historic sites in this region deepens the connection to your family’s past.

Enhance Your Understanding with Historical Tours

In addition to family-focused itineraries, historical tours of Ireland enrich your understanding of the broader cultural context. From medieval castles to battlefields, these tours paint a vivid picture of the world your ancestors inhabited.

Immersing yourself in these stories is especially meaningful when guided by experts who combine genealogy and historical knowledge. Whether tracing the Quinn family history or exploring County Armagh genealogy, an ancestral tour allows you to experience Ireland’s past firsthand.

Review of My Ireland Heritage Tours Presented on Trip adviser Oct 2024 By • Family TomBarron2013 New York City, NY2

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
