ABOUT THE ULSTER HISTORICAL FOUNDATION

The Ulster Historical Foundation is one of Ireland’s foremost genealogy research organizations and publishing houses. Since 2004, the Foundation has devised a series of ground breaking online historical and genealogical resources, which have helped to transform the availability of Irish records for family historians at home and abroad.

Fintan Mullan is Executive Director of the Ulster Historical Foundation, where he pioneered the online births, deaths and marriages online record system for counties Antrim and Down. This led to the creation of the Irish Family History Foundation’s unique database of over 20 million Irish historical records, making it the most useful online genealogical resource for Irish research. Gillian Hunt is Research Officer with the Foundation. As well as managing the genealogy side of the Foundation’s work, Gillian carries out research for clients and is an extremely experienced user of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and the General Register Office.

A limited number of opportunities for 20-minute private consultations are available (first-come basis) at additional cost payable directly to UHF.
