Liberty Lives

Nuala with the Hula is not alone

Sometime ago I posted Belfast’s Nuala with the Hula playing hoopla. Nuala has now found a kindred spirit: a moving Lady Liberty.

Like Nuala, New York’s Statue of Liberty has a long standing connection with genealogy. The statue is an icon of the United States and was a welcoming sight to many Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh and other European immigrants arriving from abroad. She is located on Ellis Island and was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the United States.

The Ellis Island Foundation projects include a museum, The American Immigrant Wall of Honor and the American Family Immigration History Center. The Centre is a valuable resource  when researching family history

Welcome to my Blog

Nuala 1Hi Folks

Thank you for all the very positive and encouraging comments I received in respect of my new genealogy website; Research Ancestors Ireland.

I am now adding a Blog facility which will include news, events, discussion, information requests and new research on tracing your ancestry. Hopefully this will help you discover your family history and develop your family tree
