Silver Package Spotlight: Extended Irish Roots Exploration This Summer

Planning a summer Irish Genealogy Tour? The Silver Package offers the perfect opportunity to go beyond the basics and dive deeper into your Irish heritage. With the addition of an extra day, you’re walking the land of your ancestors, discovering untold stories, and building a connection that lasts a lifetime. This extended experience allows travellers to enrich their understanding of family history while enjoying immersive visits to their ancestral townlands.

What Makes the Silver Package Unique?

The Silver Package enhances your ancestry travel tours by allowing more time for both research and reflection. Whether you’re exploring County Mayo genealogy or simply soaking in the atmosphere of a family graveyard, this extra time makes all the difference.

You’ll have the freedom to ask questions, make discoveries, and experience Ireland at your own pace. And if you’re tracing roots using Donegal genealogy resources or researching Mayo family genealogy, you’ll appreciate the chance to dig deeper into local stories and family connections.

Deeper Historical Context and Cultural Connections

A longer itinerary also opens up the possibility to connect your family story to broader Irish history. For example, learning about Irish famine workhouse facts can help contextualize your ancestors’ lives during the Great Hunger. Visiting a local Irish famine memorial in Dublin or elsewhere can be a powerful way to honor their resilience.

The extra time also allows for more immersive Ireland cultural tours, exploring local folklore, food, music, and traditions tied to your family’s region. Perhaps you’ll uncover ties to ancient Celtic tribes in Ireland through historical documents.

Customized Research with Expert Guidance

By engaging with seasoned professionals offering genealogy services in Ireland, travellers can uncover overlooked details and cross-reference family records with precision. If you’re curious about your connection to lesser-known branches of your family tree, or exploring dual heritage across the border with genealogy in Northern Ireland, this package supports that deeper dive.

Memorable Moments in Your Ancestral Townland

The most treasured part of any family tour in Ireland is often the visit to the ancestral homestead. With the Silver Package, you can linger longer in that special townland—whether that’s a windswept Donegal village, or a Galway parish. It includes stops at churches, cemeteries, schools, or town records offices, creating a fuller picture of your ancestors’ lives. These visits often lead to emotional moments and personal revelations—ones that stay with you long after your history tours of Ireland are over.

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
