Guided Genealogy Research Trip to Dublin, Ireland
Shared & written by Donna Moughty:

Sarasota, FL — Donna Moughty, a professional genealogist and specialist in Irish research, will again be taking a group of researchers to Ireland from October 18 – 25, 2015. The repositories scheduled on this trip include the National Library of Ireland, National Archives, General Register Office, Valuation Office and Registry of Deeds. Dublin based professionals will also be available to assist participants at various locations.

The trip includes 7 nights accommodations (including breakfast) at Buswell’s Hotel, two hours of pre-trip consultation, orientation and assistance at the research facilities, two dinners and admission to the Back To Our Past Conference.

If there is enough interest, a research trip to Belfast will also be offered from October 11 – 17, 2015. A limited number of spaces are available. For further information visit www.moughty.com.

Collaboration: The link below is and example of one way to get others to help with your research. In fact this is how I got started back in 1998 with a simple posting asking one question about my family. I had no idea where that one question would lead me on my quest. Maybe a question from you will do the same.
A couple of things to remember is that your question will remain on the RootsWeb or Ancestry message board for a long time. You may get a reply next week or next year. Use a free email address that will also have a chance of surviving; gmail or yahoo for example. Give as much information that you know about the person or family you are looking for. In the example, the person is seeking family members who have taken a DNA test.
