Irish Heritage Day 2025: Researching Your Ancestors and Family History

  • 11 Mar 2025
  • 8:45 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Hybrid (Eagan MN and Zoom)

A full-day workshop with presenters Fintan Mullan & Gillian Hunt from Ireland as part of their 2025 US Lecture Tour.

The workshop will cover Irish ancestral research strategies, including:
  • Exploring Records Related to the Different Churches in Ireland
  • Introduction to Archives in Ireland: Onsite & Online
  • Using Irish land records: Griffith’s Valuation, Tithe & Estate records
  • Exploring the Irish Registry of Deeds

On the morning following the workshop you may pre-schedule an individual consultation with our presenters regarding your own research. These sessions will be held near the hotel and the Minnesota Genealogy Center, where our Irish collection of 3,500 titles is housed in the Hoffman Research Library.

Both venues are close to the MSP airport and a hotel block is available until February 9 with free shuttle services. We encourage live attendees to extend their stay to spend research time in the Library before (Sat, Mon) or following (Wed, Thurs) the workshop.
