The First Irish Podcast
The worlds first Irish Genealogy podcast ever ! We cut our teeth on this one folks. I slowly learned how to record a show and pick a microphone for the job. Begun in 2005, we now have over 270 broadcasts in all.
What it is
We cover Irish names; books; history; Genealogy; and curious news and notes from Ireland. We also use this podcast to tie all of our activities together. If you are looking for a place to start - this is it !
Photo Enhanced
This podcast is available in two formats. First, as a regular audio show. Secondly, in a photo-enhanced version. The enhanced version includes pictures & links in the photo that you can click on. You need iTunes or Quick time for the enhanced show to work.
Interviews
We interview family researchers; DNA experts; authors, genealogy gurus, and those active in Irish events. Feel free to call and leave a message if you would like to be interviewed. (816) 256-3360. You can also leave your message for broadcast at that number.
Drop me an email if you have a mind too.

How it Began
The Irish Roots Cafe was up an running when I discovered some free software on my Mac computer. In five minutes I had recorded my voice, and I was off and learning how to record a show.
I had spent 30 years authoring new Irish books. Few are lucky enough to have such as a full time job. Every now and then I also published old forgotten works on Ireland. My own 3,000 volume Irish library is very helpful in the process .
Podcast Launch !
Having traced my family lines back to Ireland ( and one grandparent to the Black Forest in Germany), I began my writing career in genealogy. Writing books on every county in Ireland, and publishing classic Irish histories was a great start.
Now it was time to try broadcasting, reaching more folks than ever. So, the show was launched with the theme of Irish genealogy, culture and heritage.
Today we have 7 different shows in that vein, including history, language and song. We are currently at a pace of reaching 10 million hits a year on the web page. Thanks for your support !

The Irish Family
Tartan ‘Myth’
Thirty Years of Research shows there were no ‘Tartans’ applied to specific Irish Families.
(Tartans and Kilts are not the same thing ! )
Clan Tartans were a Scots tradition.

Based Upon Our Hedge School Courses
√ Birth Index of Ireland
Our Original Birth index gives the main spelling and county of location for Surnames in Ireland in the 1800s. Map the surnames you are looking for. The county is the key to Irish research.
Find out if your name is in it and in what counties - or why it not !
√ 1659 Irish Census
Our handy 17th century surname census shows the spelling of the name and the Irish County of location in the 1600’s.
Names are often spelled differently in the 1600’s.
How about yours ?
Is it in the same location as in the birth index ?
