Irish Roots Ancestry & Travel Journal

Description

Made for Get Up and Go’s 20th anniversary, this Irish Roots Coming Home Journal isn’t a diary for the everyday — it’s a journal for the journey home. Whether that journey is a kitchen-table conversation, a DNA test result, or an actual flight to Ireland, this fillable digital journal gives it somewhere to live.

What’s Inside The Irish Roots Coming Home Journal?

It opens with The Name I Carry — the surname, its spellings, and what’s already known about how your family left Ireland — before moving through Before You Go, The Cousin Connection (for DNA matches and the messages sent because of them), Old Haunts & Old Friends, Family & Ancestry Records, Places to Visit & Events, and Memorabilia & Business at Home. It closes with a 7-day Today in Ireland daily journal, each day opening with a genuine Irish saying or proverb.

Every field is fillable, so it works directly on a phone, tablet or laptop with no printing required — start filling it in from wherever you are, long before any flight is booked.

If a wider trip beyond the ancestry side is part of your plans, our Ireland Travel Journey Companion covers the practical side — bookings, packing, budget and a county checklist — as a natural companion to this one.

For readers just starting out, The National Archives of Ireland’s family history research guide is a genuinely useful starting point for tracing Irish records.
