For the first time since 2019, Tracing Your Irish Ancestors 2024 will include a guided tour of Kilmainham Gaol, one of Ireland’s most important monuments and visitor attractions, and, for the first time since 2018 (excluding the visit of two small groups in 2022), Tracing Your Irish Ancestors will return to Barons Court, the magnificent seat and family home of the Duke of Abercorn whose ancestors migrated from Scotland over 400 years ago.

Tracing Your Irish Ancestors 2024 will also see delegates visit the UNESCO World Heritage site at Brú na Bóinne, with tours of the neolithic burial monuments at Newgrange and Knowth; tour what has been described as “the world’s leading tourist attraction” by the World Travel Awards, Titanic Belfast; experience the stark beauty of the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was voted the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom; receive a guided walking tour along the famous walls of Derry City; and much more!

As with Ulster Historical Foundation’s previous Tracing Your Irish Ancestors programmes delegates will be able to shape their own experiences by choosing to either research in the archives or join our staff on daily excursions through Ireland’s beautiful landscape to some of its most historic sites.

Assisted personal research, talks, tours and sightseeing are all part of the eclectic, friendly and fun mix of Tracing Your Irish Ancestors.
