Irish Family History Centre

The Irish Family History Centre sits in the Dublin Docklands, on the redeveloped quaysides east of the city centre. It is dedicated to helping visitors trace Irish ancestry, combining interactive displays about emigration and surnames with practical research support.

Visitors can explore how Irish families scattered across the world and, if they wish, sit down with a genealogy adviser to make sense of records, place names and family stories. It suits both casual curiosity and those arriving with a folder of documents and a long list of questions.
