Discover Your Irish Passport Eligibility
Could you qualify for an Irish passport through Irish ancestry?
Since Brexit, many British citizens struggle with travel, residency, and work in Europe. An Irish passport—if you’re eligible—can restore EU rights, open travel to visa‑free countries, and offer dual citizenship.
How you might qualify
You were born outside Ireland, and a parent or grandparent was born in Ireland → eligible for citizenship by descent via Foreign Birth Registration.
Through DNA connections to a parents or grandparent – ground breaking new possibility now available

What Our Clients Say
I cannot thank Louise enough for solving my families 90 year mystery. My maternal grandmother was born in 1933 and never knew anything about her biological father. Luckily she had taken a DNA test before she passed away in 2017, but there were no close connections which could help me identify her father. I reached out to Louise and within 3 months she had identified a family of 5 brothers. A few weeks later after some more research and one of the brother’s children taking a DNA test, my great grandfather was confirmed. I fully appreciate it has been a shock for both families but if nothing else I am so glad to have been able to give a name and photograph to my mother and her siblings. My grandmother would have been so very happy. Thank you Louise, the work you and your team do is absolutely priceless.

I cannot begin to thank Louise and her team enough for fulfilling a dream I was beginning to think would never happen.
After 40 years of searching for my birth parents, I found my birth mother quite easily through records when the law changed. But, would I ever be able to find my birth father?
This has only been possible through DNA and the team have worked wonders. I cannot praise them enough. For the hours of work they must have put in, the payment was very small and they are now writing to my relatives hoping they will be able to give me more information about my father. Fingers crossed.
Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! Hazel

I am really very grateful Louise to you and your team for coming up with information regarding my mother’s biological parentage. With so very little to go on I was very impressed with what you managed to find and it was written up and presented very clearly along with pics of relevant documents and photos which was wonderful. I can wholeheartedly recommend Finding Families having been recommended to me by the lead researcher on the TV show ‘Long Lost Families’. In short, if you want to research your family tree and find out about missing relatives then Finding Families is most definitely the place to go.
