All-Ireland initiative

RootsIreland is an all-Ireland initiative developed by the not-for-profit Irish organisation, the Irish Family History Foundation. The aim of the initiative is to create a countrywide searchable database of genealogical records and to date more than 20 million Irish genealogical records are currently searchable on this database, with more being added all the time.

We would like to note however that this facility is not a substitute for research commissioned through our experienced and trained Limerick-based service, with researchers who are familiar with the geography and history of Limerick and aware of research considerations and possible limitations of records. In a search of the online database you may find that, based on the information available to you, there are too many possibilities and in this situation we would recommend that you contact us for advice.
