The Ireland Reaching Out Program (aka Ireland XO) started as an Irish genealogy pilot project a couple of years ago, and is now the driving force behind calling Ireland’s ancestors home. Different Irish genealogy organizations are spearheading projects to draw Irish descendants back to the island. In a country of only 4.5 million people, Ireland has come together as a country to call home the descendants of its Diaspora. Considering RecordClick’s response from individuals tracing ancestry and seeking Irish dual citizenship by descent, it’s clear that the spirit and blood of Ireland is coursing through the veins of many U.S. What better time than now to delve into your Irish genealogy. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and if you are one of the 34 million Americans who claim Irish ancestry, you may feel an ancestral tug from the Land of Saints and Scholars.
