Family names and ancestral townlands are part of our identity and provide a really strong connection to our ancestors.
Your family name may have been in existence for hundreds, possibly even thousands, of years but what is its origin? Does it relate to the name of a village, a landmark, physical appearance or perhaps an occupation. Whatever the case, our family names give us a sense of identity and helps us discover who we are and where we come from.
Knowing more about where our family names are from, how they have developed and changed, and what they mean help us connect to our ancestry. Likewise, discovering your ancestral townland and what the name means allows us all to create a really strong connection to our past and almost visualise where and how our ancestors lived.
Our researchers have extensive experience in family name and townland research and can provide you with a framed or unframed copy of your family name and townland research, beautifully detailed and perfect as a keepsake for yourself or a gift for a family member or friend.
