If you have not yet found the area where your ancestors made their homes in Ireland, tell us about the resources that you hope to use to find out. What records and documents do you hope will lead you to that information? How do you plan to go about the search?
If you have always known the place or places where your family hailed from, tell us about them. What draws you there and what else have you learned throughout your search for family history?

I have just started a genealogy blog. I guess I had never known they existed, guess I should have known. I am also tracing my Irish roots. I have found information in Alleghen County PA and the problem I am facing is that I know the counties where they were from (from family lore, but not documented.) So I am on the quest of finding them in Ireland. It is difficult for me in the respects that there are about 20 Thomas Dowds listed for Mayo County in the era where I had expected to find my great grandfather. I do not mind paying for information, but I do not want to wast monety either....maybe someone else would have some idea on that subject???
