There’s no place like home.
Over 35 million Irish-Americans now call the United States home, but one thing we all have in common is that once upon our time, some of our ancestors had to leave the place they called home.
Some came to America with great hope and excitement; others never wanted to leave in the first place – flight from famine, poverty and persecution is an all too common thread in our Irish family history.
There’s nothing more breathtaking than returning to the country our ancestors left, to honor their memory and bring our family history, in many ways, full-circle.
Though their journey across the Atlantic was far more difficult than what we would have to go through today, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to visit our ancestral hometown.
But for one Irish American, we want to make it possible.
In celebration of the most recent additions to our Irish genealogy collections – the largest anywhere online – we’re offering an amazing opportunity:
Visit Ireland and retrace the footsteps of your ancestors.

Then, we'll take you to the Irish towns and villages where your family lived** – see how their towns and counties have modernized and lay eyes upon the same breathtaking landscape that they once did.
