    Ireland is more than just a place — it is the people of the Irish diaspora who have spread across the world over the centuries. The Oes and the Mcs of Irish surnames can be found everywhere! We welcome guests from every corner of planet Earth, and many of them have Irish heritage — either ancient or relatively recent. Maybe you’d like to explore your Irish genealogy or maybe you’re just drawn by the allure of the Emerald Isle.

    Whatever you love about Ireland, please join the conversation in our Facebook group. This is a new community we are trying to build, and we would love friendly and inquisitive people to join the conversation!
