About this webinar
The webinar examines the history and origins of Irish surnames – native Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh, Huguenot, Viking, Gallowglass and Jewish. If you don’t know where in Ireland your ancestors originated, we’ll include tips to help you to narrow down the location. First names often followed a traditional naming pattern and this can help to build your family tree. We’ll use case studies using traditional naming patterns to show how this worked. There are some naming traditions that were used in particular by the Ulster Scots that again can help to expand your family tree and we’ll also cover the Latin names sometimes used in Roman Catholic records.

Great information thank you Natalie. 60% of my ancestors came from Ireland and this has given me valuable insights into how to find them and where they lived.
Really an eye-opener. Will need to do more researching. Thank you
Great presentation and syllabus . Thank you.
I knew researching my Irish (maybe) ancestors was complicated. The travel between Ireland, Scotland, and England makes it very difficult to figure out where any particular generation belongs. Natalie's lecture didn't make it seem any easier, but she certainly provided a lot of places to start. Her accent was also very helpful, because the way the names tripped off her tongue certainly helped me understand where some of what I considered to be weird misspellings might have come from.
Excellent job walking us through the naming system in Ireland
Natalie, demonstrated a vast, thorough knowledge of her subject. I am looking forward to listening to her other webinars. Thanks you for arranging this.
Very informative, well researched and great presentation
I always cherish Natalie's presentations because they are so full of useful information that is easily found and accessed. I wish I could go to Ireland for one of her tours because I know it would be as amazing as her webinars! Thank you, Natalie!
