About This Tour

A customizable private driving tour led by a history graduate and genealogist, covering St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Ha'penny Bridge. Your driver-guide, a history graduate and genealogist, takes you between sights from St. Patrick's Cathedral to the Ha'penny Bridge, sharing Dublin's history and heritage.

Civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths only began in Ireland on 1 January 1864, which is exactly why having a trained genealogist as your guide matters if you're curious about Irish roots - earlier family history usually has to be pieced together from parish, land, or emigration records instead. Ireland's General Register Office in Dublin still holds the official registers, and the free site irishgenealogy.ie now hosts digitised images of birth records from 1864, marriage records from 1870, and death records from 1878.

Your driver-guide here is both a history graduate and a genealogist, taking you between sights from St. Patrick's Cathedral - founded in 1191, and the place Jonathan Swift served as dean for over 30 years - to the Ha'penny Bridge, Dublin's 1816 cast-iron river crossing.

He can share general historical context and point you toward the right record sets, though a full, detailed trace of your own specific ancestry would need to be arranged as a separate research project beyond the tour itself.
