Independent commercial researchers

Selection of guides available in the PRONI search room Volumes in a PRONI strongroom Visitors conducting research in the PRONI reading room
If you are unable to visit PRONI and PRONI’s search service does not meet your needs, you may wish to hire an independent commercial researcher to carry out research for you.  This is particularly the case if, for example, you want to complete a family tree.
An independent commercial researcher can provide an extensive search service, not only searching in PRONI but also in other relevant archives.
Independent commercial researchers will interpret the sources that they have used and give comprehensive information on the searches undertaken.  Fees and charges for their work vary.
Please note:-
PRONI is not associated with any independent genealogical researchers, organisations or websites.  The commercial researchers listed below do not work for PRONI and we cannot, as a matter of policy, recommend or endorse them or any others.  We cannot verify any qualification or title they may claim to hold, nor can we be held responsible for the standard of their work or the fees they charge.
