Irish genealogy on the Internet |
|
Irish genealogy resources on the Internet are constantly changing. This page is a starting point rather than attempting any sort of comprehensiveness. It includes some of the links I have used a lot and have found useful. As your follow the links and the links within them you can go to many and varied sites. With luck you might find something useful for your research. You will need a lot of luck to trace your Bridget (or Mary or Margaret) MURPHY. If you have some unusual names like mine, initial searching may be easier.
