This program will help show you different resources and examples of your genealogical paper trail. Cathy will go through her “Top 10” favorite Irish websites that she uses to look for her Irish ancestors. Each of these sites provides great and useful information. Most of the websites will be free to search at your own home or in your local library. Cathy will show examples from each of the web sites. With a little luck of the Irish, you might hear something that will be helpful to you!
 
The handout is now posted to the "Members" section of the website.
