I'm an academically qualified Irish historian, and have pursued an interest in Irish heritage, history, archaeology, culture and genealogy for many years. I'm also a professionally qualified tour guide for the Cork/Kerry region in Ireland, and a non-practising Solicitor (lawyer). My interests have involved much research, and numerous visits to Irish archival sources and repositories. While helping people ‘find their Irish roots’, I have found many wish to delve into the history, heritage and culture of their ancestors. I have been fortunate to be able to help with this, as it’s something I’m personally interested in, have grown up with, and always wish to share my ‘on the ground’ Irish knowledge with others. I look forward to being of assistance in your Irish ancestral quest!
