This Irish Genealogy site offers the Irish descendant (from New York, Canada, UK, Australia...) the chance to trace their Irish family tree and search for their surname origins and the records of their Irish ancestor's birth, marriage or death.
The Irish have often been compared
to the Jews, in their propensity to wander, their global spread and their
ability to assimilate into most societies and rise to the top. Indeed, there
is a fanciful notion that the Irish are one of the lost tribes of Israel;
that Jeremiah deposited the Ark of the Covenant on a great mound in County
Meath and that a cor-ruption of the Jewish word for law, torah, gave this
area its name: Tara. In recent years the term Diaspora has been borrowed
from the Jews to become a popular piece of short-hand to describe the world-wide
Irish population.
