Our most popular report is now improved! Distribution studies are a tool that help you
find where in Ireland (or where within a particular Irish County) your ancestors were most
likely to have originated. This allows you to prioritize your research, and provides insight
into the early history of your clan. Distributions by county now include a graphic display
of the data -- a map you can use on your own website, or in a published genealogy!
Order a distribution study, or learn more about this method
by reading Identify the Place of Origin of your Irish Ancestor.
Our Surname Search Reports will find all occurances of any text (usually you would choose to search for a surname, but you
might want to look for a placename, occupation, or other text) in our off-line text databases. These consist of all of the text
files (or pages) you can order on DIGdat, plus text transcriptions of those scanned pages that are available. (Only a small
portion of the scanned pages have been transcribed so far, that is an on-going process.) The report provides the full line that includes the target text, so in many cases it provides all the info found in the original document. In other cases you will need to refer to the original source -- source citations are included for all 'hits' -- see sample report, for
the surname SMITH.
