Washington state is home to a
number of organizations that promote Irish genealogy and they are all based in
the Seattle metropolitan area. If you have Washington Irish ancestry, reside in
the state, or plan to visit there for research, then getting acquainted with
them can be very beneficial. Members of such organizations often have local knowledge
about areas where Irish immigrants settled, know how to access genealogy
records in the state, and also know about the less well known resources that
can help you break through those genealogy brick walls.
The main organization is the
Seattle Genealogical Society. Like many state or large city genealogy groups,
they have an Irish interest group and meet every
third Saturday. The Eastside Genealogical Society, based in the Seattle
suburb of Bellevue, has an Irish and
Scots-Irish special interest group. Lastly, there is the Irish Heritage Club of Seattle which hosts
occasional genealogy events.
You can learn more about these organizations
and others across the United States and Canada on the Groups/Societies
and Institutions (GSI) Database page elsewhere on this site.
