Many Britons have Irish ancestry: some estimates suggest as much as 1 in 4 people. However, a stumbling block to researching those ancestors is not knowing where in Ireland they came from. Until the 1921 census, most people simply wrote “Ireland” as a birthplace. However, the advent of DNA testing may be just the thing to help you over this obstacle. Join Irish genetic genealogist Claire Bradley as she explains how to use the valuable clues in your DNA results. Irish passports may not be forthcoming but good craic is promised.
