Due to growing interest and demand, Dominic Murphy has established Irish Roots Services, a comprehensive service for those seeking to trace relatives and ancestors in Ireland.

Dominic Murphy has more than 36 years experience in tourism. He worked for over 16 years with the Edwardian Hotel Group in England before returning to Ireland in 1980 to buy and manage the world-renowned Eccles Hotel in Glengarriff, County Cork.

While in Glengarriff, Dominic was frequently asked by guests how they could trace their Irish roots. He so much enjoyed helping them discover old family connections that he decided to retire from the hotel business and establish Irish Roots Services.

Why choose Irish Roots Services?

As you are probably aware, tracing ancestors can be painstaking and frustrating. For those without experience, it´s like ´looking for a needle in a haystack´. That is where Irish Roots Services have the edge on others offering similar services.

Dominic Murphy himself comes from old Irish stock - hardly surprising with a name like Murphy. His own family history is traced back to the 16^th century.

He has also travelled widely. As a hotelier he befriended hundreds of employees and guests, which led him to attend weddings, wakes, and funerals in every corner of the land. Between business and pleasure, there are few roads and bohareens in Ireland he has not ventured.

In his research over the years Dominic has gained invaluable experience and discovered rare sources of information, from parish records to local lore and tradition. For good measure, he is popular and well-known - which means that even if he doesn´t immediately have all the information you seek, he will inevitably come up with a friend or associate who has.

No doubt about it, there´s none better than Irish Roots Services to trace your ancestors or relatives or lead you to that long-lost homestead you´ve always wanted to visit.
