Many Irish families have roots which span across the counties of Ireland. Both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have their own record collections and archive offices meaning that it can be difficult to connect family lines across country and county borders. With Ancestor Network’s Northern Ireland branch, we are uniquely able to offer genealogical research across the counties of Ulster and the whole island of Ireland simultaneously. We provide an experienced, friendly and professional service for genealogy and probate research in Ulster.

Ancestor Network has a proven track record and high success rate in providing a rapid response to identify heirs to unclaimed estates. Our branch in Northern Ireland reflects our ability to trace potential heirs with Ulster roots and families who moved throughout Ireland.

Ancestor Network Northern Ireland brings experienced, professional expertise to your genealogical research needs in Ulster. We provide expert knowledge of all the Northern Ireland-based archives and records and can assist you in tracing your ancestors and putting together your family tree.

A common research goal is to trace ancestors back to the Ulster Plantations of the early seventeenth century or to the earlier Gaelic clans. Little documentary evidence survives for this period but DNA testing can bring additional information to help trace ancestral origins. When the paper trail ends, DNA testing can show family connections to specific areas of Ulster.
