Where best to do research

[Westy]

I am coming to Dublin next week to do some more research on my Grandad and his family but since I was last over the place I went to, Abbey House ?!?!?, appears to be closed. Where is the best place to go now, I want to maximize my time so don't want to be searching for a place when I get there
many thanks, Westy

Hi There

It depends on what you are looking for and the timeline etc !

To be honest, a lot is online.

Have you gotten help with your Irish tree here ?

Yes have found unknown relatives who I have since met and have got a lot of Info, all from Co Wexford. I really want certificates (don't we all !!!) and have sorted out my info to bring with me next week. My wife is desperately looking for any info on her GG Grandmother who was born in Kinsgtown now dun laoghaire so hoping to find some record of her
many thanks

Werburgh Street is where you now go to get certs.

Just so you know, the only give you 5 certs on the day.

Any others you order will be posted to you.

Also, just so you know you can order certs through our GRO in Roscommon.

There is the National Library to research at, but a lot of the time you need to give them notice of what you want to research.

There is also archives at Bishop Street.
