They came from Ireland
Many people who left Ireland and settled elsewhere are hard to trace back to their origins as all we know about many of them is that they came from Ireland unknown from where in Ireland. This project is a collection of profiles of people with unknown Irish origins, if you have an Irish ancestor add the profile to this project and we will try to find out where in Ireland they came from.
Civil registration did not start till 1864, before this time we are depending on church records, Roman Catholic records go back as far as 1800 on average and Protestant ( Church of Ireland) records a small bit earlier (late 1700's)
Take note the chance of finding records from 1600 or earlier is extremely small as most records did not survive or were not created in the first place same for the best part of the 1700rds.
- (there are a limited amount of records for 1600 and 1700 available for the counties Kerry,Cork and Dublin)
