Searching in Co Clare

The Clare Roots Society was formed in April 2006 as an amateur familybhistory, genealogy and heritage group in County Clare. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and now has well over 100 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some ‘virtual’ members who live overseas but who follow our genealogy activities via email, and dream that they are in County Clare. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on  its website www.clarelibrary.ie.
