Not all Irish records were destroyed in 1922, but the burning of the Public Record Office in that year did leave an immense gap. As a result, Irish genealogical research has to deal with idiosyncratic, fragmentary and sometimes marginally relevant records in ways that can seem very strange to those used to British, US or Australian sources. In addition, Ireland came late to digitization and has done it unsystematically. To be polite. This talk unravels the ways in which marginal records have become essential for Irish research, and the peculiarities in using them online.

He was awarded a fellowship of The Irish Genealogical Research Society in 2007 and of the Genealogical Society of Ireland in 2010. Among his publications are the standard guide to Irish genealogy, *Tracing your Irish Ancestors <http://legacy.familytreewebinars.com/tracing-your-irish-ancestors-4th-edition-by-john-grenham-p704.php>* (4th ed.2012), *Clans and Families of Ireland* (1995), *Generations* (1996), "The Genealogical Office and its Records" in *The Genealogical Office* (1999), *Grenham's Irish Surnames* (CD-ROM, 2003), *The Atlantic Coast of Ireland* (2014) and numerous articles and columns in the UK magazine *Your Family Tree*.
