Some Myths of Irish Family Research

 

                *              All my ancestors came over in the Great Famine

                *              I did all my genealogy on the Internet

                *              We are Irish, not Scottish, because we spell the surname with Mac

                *              The LDS have all the Irish records, so I do not need to go to Ireland

                *              All the Irish records were burnt

                *              All I know is the date of the emigrant ancestor’s baptism
