Genealogy
Cobh Heritage Centre offers a Genealogical Family History Research Profile.
This expert system has been designed to allow someone with no knowledge of genealogical records to obtain a detailed custom made analysis of all Irish records relevant to researching a particular ancestor.
It will provide answers to the following questions:
– What records are relevant to my ancestors?
– How do I use these records?
– Where are they?
– How do I get Access to them?
There is a charge of €50 for a one hour session with our Genealogist (we would advise to book in advance). For more information or to book a session please email genealogy@cobhheritage.com or call us on +353 (21) 481 3591
