Where Did Your Irish Family Come From?
Let’s Find Out — Together
Reconnect with your roots through personalized research and heartfelt tours with a local Irish genealogist who truly cares.
• 🇮🇪 20+ years Irish local knowledge
• 🧬 DNA, records, and surname tracing
• 🗺️ Walk the land your ancestors called home
Have you ever wondered where your Irish ancestors came from — the village they left behind, the stories they carried with them, or the family they may have never seen again?
As a genealogist consultant and Irish tour operator, I help Irish-Americans trace their roots and reconnect with the places and people that shaped their family story.
Whether you’re just starting your family search or already have names, dates, or places you’d love to explore more deeply — I’m here to help you uncover the real story of your Irish heritage. And if you choose, we can walk the very ground your ancestors once called home.
🇮🇪 From Ireland, With Heart
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Where in Ireland did my family come from?” or dreaming of standing in the fields or lanes your ancestors once knew — you’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.
I’m Vera — an Irish genealogist consultant and local guide, born and raised here in Ireland. I work with Irish-Americans every day to help them piece together their family’s past and connect it with the real places and people still here today.
Even if all you have is a surname or a handed-down story, we can start there. I’ll work with you to uncover your roots and bring them to life — whether that’s through research, a personalised ancestry tour, or both.
Because your Irish story matters — and I’d be honoured to help you find it.
What I Offer
You don’t need to be a history expert or have a full family tree. Many of my clients start with just a name, a photo, or “my great-grandfather was from somewhere in Cork.” I take it from there — with a deep respect for your family story.
Irish Ancestry Research (Remote Service)
Let me trace your Irish roots — no matter where you are.
I’ll dig into Irish archives, census records, parish registers, immigration lists, and local knowledge to build a detailed report on your family’s Irish origins.
You’ll receive:
Your Irish family tree (where records allow)
Names, locations, dates & historical insights
A personal ancestry report with copies of records and maps
Guidance on what to do next (visit, preserve, share)
Custom Itinerary Based on Your Roots
Planning a trip to Ireland? Let me tailor it to your family’s story.
If you’re visiting Ireland and want to go beyond the tourist trail, I’ll create a custom itinerary just for you — one that includes the exact towns, churches, and graveyards connected to your ancestors.
Your trip will be more than just beautiful — it’ll be personal.
Includes:
A full research report
A suggested route with stops tied to your family
Local recommendations (pubs, views, gravestones, heritage centres)
💶 Custom pricing based on length of trip and detail required.

“We always knew our great-grandmother came from Mayo. Vera brought that story to life — we found the church she was baptised in and even met distant cousins. I cried. My sister cried. We’ll never forget it.”

Real Stories. Real Connections.
“I gave Vera nothing more than a name and a hunch — and two months later, I was walking the lane my great-grandfather left in 1902. I’ll never forget standing in the old stone church he was baptized in. It brought tears to my eyes.” — Mary T., Massachusetts

“Vera’s warmth and knowledge made all the difference. She found records we couldn’t — and even arranged a local meet-up with distant cousins in County Clare. It was the highlight of our trip to Ireland.” — Thomas & Jane R., Chicago
