Discover your Irish Roots
in the
Shannon Region
Are you ancestors are from Ireland? Research tells us that most people of Irish Heritage living abroad will, at some time in their lives, try to discover more about their roots and connections to Ireland.
The Ireland Reaching Out Programme (Ireland XO), actively encourages YOU to do so and can help you in your quest. There are no fees as Ireland XO is a non-profit, voluntary organisation. Embarking on a paper trail of researching your genealogical records may only take you so far. Ireland XO volunteers in Ireland can help you find that elusive headstone, or the spot where your ancestral home once stood, or even connect you with your own living relatives in Ireland.
More than anything, Ireland XO is about connecting people, creating lifelong relationships between those of us who share a special bond of place. It is about celebrating the living heritage of Ireland as well as that of the past, and the heritage of Irish people, wherever they are found around the world today.
