The joint consortium of Eneclann and Ancestor Network have announced that they will provide genealogy services in the National Archives of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland in the coming year, following a competitive tendering process.
“We look forward to assisting Irish people and overseas visitors alike in tracing their roots especially in the coming year of the Gathering,” said Fiona Fitzsimons, Research Director of Eneclann.
“We are delighted to partner with Ancestor Network, in our new role – promoting Irish genealogy from within the national cultural institutions.”
The consortium has increased the number of genealogy experts delivering the service, to provide a wide and comprehensive range of expertise to anyone looking for help and advice in tracing their family history.
Aiden Feerick, Head of Research at Ancestor Network added “It is a great privilege to have been selected with Eneclann by the National Archives of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland.
“We can provide a world class genealogy advisory service and we will share our expertise and knowledge to those tracing their Irish ancestors. We also look forward to working with the staff of the archives and library in adding value to their genealogical services.”
Approximately half of the project team in the consortium are members of the Association of Professional Genealogists in Ireland (APGI).
