Whether you are Irish-born living elsewhere or are a few generations removed from living in the Emerald Isle, many of us hope of finding ourselves in an Irish space once more when we pass away.
Especially for grieving family and friends, the strength of Irish roots and Irish heritage continues long after death and that’s why online memorial service EternallyIrish.com understands the importance of researching your Irish ancestry and knowing where you came from.
On Saturday, October 13, EternallyIrish.com will join IrishCentral, Ireland of the Welcomes and Hennessy for The Genealogy Event at Pier A, Battery Park, New York City; an event committed to supporting research into your Irish ancestry.
