Emigration has been a dominant feature of Irish life for almost four centuries and has left an unmistakable legacy. It is estimated that 8 million left Ireland between 1800 and 1921 to settle mainly in Britain, the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. The Irish Diaspora is to be found in every corner of the world.
Many Irish people at home also have a desire to find out more about their ancestors. People want to know where they came from, who they are related to and where their ancestors lived, and what the social, political, economic and cultural conditions of that era were like. The North Tipperary Genealogy Centre is the key to providing the answers to the above questions.
The North Tipperary Genealogy Centre provides a genealogical research service for people tracing their North Tipperary ancestors. The Genealogy Centre (under the auspices of Tipperary County Council) is located in the Governor’s House of the former County Gaol in Nenagh. The North Tipperary Genealogy Centre is run by Nora O’Meara who is a graduate of Limerick University and holds a Masters Degree in History of the Family. Nora, a professional genealogist, has been managing the service since its inception nearly 30 years ago.
