County Cork: Genealogy
Places to go for the Visiting Cork Genealogist

These are places you may want to visit if you plan to go to Ireland and Cork and research family history. Call well in advance to book research facilities.

Visit the research pages for getting started on research. You should have a good understanding of research well before you invest the time and money in an Ireland research trip.

These pages have recently been remodeled. Check the site map for missing information if you can't find it.
