Discover Your Heritage
Cabragh West Research have undertaken projects as small as finding a single birth certificate for an Irish citizenship application and as large as genetic genealogy testing in support of a search for a biological parent. In between are projects of various sizes, like exploring a familial line that immigrated from the British Isles or proving that an ancestor served in the military to facilitate ordering an armed services headstone for his grave.
We have experience navigating the many databases which house the records necessary to telling the story of your ancestry. Documents, photographs, land and tax rolls…they can be daunting and difficult to search. We will undertake and manage all this on your behalf. The hunt and discovery of new information is thrilling for us, as we hope it will be for you!
