About Us.
The Irish Family History Centre is the world standard in Irish Genealogy. Over 70 million people can claim Irish ancestry today, but many of those descendants are in the dark about who those ancestors are. Responsible for research into the Irish roots of Shania Twain, Tom Cruise and others, the IFHC has helped thousands of people discover more about their Irish Family History over the years, through our expert services. Our dedicated genealogists can map out the Irish ancestors’ lives; creating a tangible connection to them through the ages - how they lived, worked and loved.
