Root Search





When we made the decision to travel to Ireland to meet with other Ingoldsby's, there was a hope that we would encounter information that would help us find our 4th Great Grandparents, the parents of Bernard Ingoldsby and Jane Keegan. We met all kinds of interesting folks from Ireland and North America.  One of the organizers, Padraic Ingoldsby has traced his roots to 1799 in Ireland.  On our first gathering evening, we had the chance to work with local genealogists who gave us tips on where to look for information.  They also said that it is very difficult to get information in Ireland and that so many records were lost or destroyed.  We had 3 evenings with the Ingoldsby's from far and wide. Pictures are better than words.
