About Us

Founded in 1984, the New York Irish History Roundtable promotes interest in and research on the 300-year history of people of Irish heritage in New York City. Its purpose is to provide opportunities to exchange information, and for members to learn from each other, about the complex relationship between the Irish and New York City since the colonial period. It sponsors lectures, fieldtrips, walking tours, special projects, graduate and undergraduate scholarships, museum exhibitions, genealogy workshops, newsletters and an annual journal, New York Irish History.

The New York Irish History Roundtable is a non-denominational, non-political, registered not-for-profit corporation. Its members include both professional and amateur historians and genealogists.

Membership is open to all.

    Hi, Do I need to register for Researching Genealogical Resources in Ireland Long-Distance? I sent you an email a few weeks ago but it bounced back. You may want to add a contact number or email address to the website & blog.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Hello Terry,

    No, unfortunately we cannot do research for individuals, as we are a totally volunteer organization. There are many professional researchers in the New York City area that might be able to assist you, though.

    Thank you for your query, though.

    Jim Garrity
