If you are of Irish blood then you are almost certainly proud of the fact. Today a growing number of people all around the World feel the need to seek out their ancestry and family roots here in Ireland no matter how humble these origins may have been. Nothing could be more natural for civilised man to take a keen interest in his or her ancestors. We have, as never before, a desire to pass on to future generations the fleeting memories and mysteries of generations gone before.
We want to know what kind of people our ancestors were, their names, how and where and when they lived. What led to decision to leave behind all that they held dear and embark on long dangerous journeys to strange lands they knew nothing of, often with little more than the clothes they stood up in.
Ulster Ancestry undertake detailed ancestral research and family history research here in the Province of Ulster primarily in the Counties of Antrim, Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Down, Londonderry/Derry and Donegal.
