How to Join

As an umbrella group for family history and genealogical organisations membership is not open to individuals. We welcome applications to join from all family history and genealogical organisations involved in Irish research, no matter how large or small.

Two categories of membership are available, as follows:

Full membership: Open to organisations based on the island of Ireland.
Associate membership: Open to organisations based in Ireland or overseas.

Full members may have up to two representatives on Council and exercise full voting rights. The annual subscription is just €20. Associate organisations can be represented on Council by one non-voting member; if they are unable to attend meetings a member of Council with special responsibilities for Associate members will communicate their views and will be available to liase with such members. There is no annual subscription for Associate membership.
