There are myriad online resources to help with genealogy
research in Ireland, Canada and the United States. What is harder to come by are
lectures that focus on researching in the United States and Canada with the aim
of getting back to Ireland. Luckily, Familysearch have some resources available
in that category. Their website is primarily known for the billions of free
records from all over the world. However, less well explored sections of the website
include the Family History Research Wiki and the Learning Center.
The learning center has a number of interesting lectures that
are specifically aimed at those who are trying to find where their
ancestor(s) came from in Ireland.
