I can carry out extensive research into all aspects of family history in Ireland generally from modern days back to the early years of the 19th century, but also can include legal records (including deeds, wills and testamentary records) going as far back as the 18th century in some cases.
In most cases it is possible to explore family history back to the mid to early 19th century but owing to the varied quality of records this may vary
