104 Irish Genealogy

The Irish History Show

On this episode of the Irish History Show we have combined five episodes of a podcast series we made for Timeline Research Ltd. about tracing your Irish ancestors.

The series covered topics such as finding out information on relatives who fought in the First World War, housing, using the census and tax returns to make your family tree and how to use and access different archives and online resources.

The series was co-hosted by one of Ireland’s leading genealogists, Nicola Morris. Nicola is the founder and director of Timeline Research Ltd. and is currently the President of Accredited Genealogists Ireland. Nicola lectures on Genealogy in University College Dublin, University College Cork, the University of Limerick and City Colleges, Dublin.

In 2017 she was appointed to the Board of the Irish Manuscripts Commission and was more recently appointed to the Genealogy and Heraldry Committee of the Board of the National Library of Ireland.

Nicola works very closely with the production company for the BBC TV programme Who Do You Think You Are? as well as the Irish and US versions of the show, which aired on RTE, NBC and TLC networks. Nicola has appeared on screen with Rosie O’Donnell, Judy Dench, Jeremy Irons, Graham Norton, Chris Moyles, Julie Walters, Emma Willis and Paul Merton, among others. Nicola was also one of the presenters of the first series of The Genealogy Roadshow for RTE. She was a researcher for and contributor to The Tenements, an award nominated series for TV3 as well as a researcher and presenter on The Great House Revival for RTE and she works closely with other Irish and international production companies on programmes about genealogy and Irish history.
