Tracing Your Cork Ancestry

Cork City Hall

A number of weeks ago I gave two talks in City Hall, Cork as part of the Active Over 50’s Show. The talks were titled Tracing Your Cork Ancestors and I thought it would be helpful to include a copy of my presentation below

Tracing Your Cork Ancestors

Not long afterwards I was invited onto The Genealogy Radio show by host Lorna Moloney to discuss this topic

You can listen in to the full show here https://www.mixcloud.com/raidiocorcabaiscinn/episode-9-david-ryan-tracing-your-cork-ancestors/

For anyone with an interest in Irish genealogy I would strongly recommend listening to the other podcasts from the radio show

Lorna is also the course coordinator for the Ancestral Connections: Names, Places and Spaces Irish Genealogy Summer School, University College Cork which runs from June 28 – July 5, 2015

Both the presentation and the interview were a basic introduction to this topic and I would hope to cover the available sources in more detail in future blog posts

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!

My name is David Ryan and I am genealogist based in Cork city, Ireland. It is my goal to use this blog to showcase some of my research and to highlight some of the rescources available for tracing your ancestors in Cork and elsewhere in Ireland.

I was born and raised here in Cork but have family connections throughout Tipperary, Waterford and Limerick. I also have a keen interest in Irish history from the earliest settlements of this Island, right up to the present day. It is this interest in history that has prompted me to embark on my career as a genealogist.
