Your Irish Family History Breakthrough Starts Now...

DOES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING  SOUND FAMILIAR...

  • You discover an Irish ancestor in your family - but don't know how to find their roots in Ireland.
  • It can be so difficult to figure out Irish surnames and placenames. The spelling just seems to change from record to record...
  • You have a great tree on Ancestry.com - but most brick walls are on the Irish side...
  • It's so frustrating trying to pin down an Irish record or relevant source on your side of the world - you'd love to have access to some folks in Ireland...

...If YOUR ANSWER IS YES, then you know how difficult it can be to get quality advice & support


What if you had instant access to Irish Genealogists that could help you with your search?

THAT'S THE REASON WE BUILT THE GREEN ROOM!

We got tired of watching good people being frustrated and let down in the pursuit of their Irish Family History because of:

  • Hard-to-access Irish records that can be difficult to decipher and interpret
  • So many incorrect trees and information on sites like Ancestry.com
  • Technical explanations and tutorials that give you all the ins and outs of genealogical research - but don't say a thing about the stories and lives of your Irish ancestors
  • Not knowing where to go next - should you hire a genealogist? How much would that cost? Where would you even start looking for one?

We're happy to say all of that is behind you

Introducing The Green Room

  • The Green Room is a unique learning and support community for Irish Family History Researchers.
  • It’s dedicated to ONLY Irish Family History Research!
  • It’s packed with in-depth, practical training and resources with support from Irish Genealogists.

MEET MIKE AND CARINA

Hi, we're Mike and Carina Collins - and we’ve helped thousands of people of Irish ancestry from all around the world to break down those brick-walls and have lots more fun when doing so!


We are based in a cottage in County Cork in the south of the country - but spend a lot of time on the road around Ireland working on behalf of our members. We have a combined 40+ years experience in both online and offline training, coaching and education - and have built online educational platforms for clients in a number of industries. Along the way, our hobbies have always involved storytelling, local history, writing, photography and travelling this lovely island that we are fortunate to call home.


In 2014 we decided to combine all of that knowledge and experience and use it to help people of Irish ancestry - just like you - to achieve more success with their Irish family history research and really bring it to life! This is now our full time pursuit and we seriously love spending our days travelling the 32 counties of Ireland, gathering stories, creating content and supporting our members.

REAL BREAKTHROUGHS FROM REAL MEMBERS

Nothing makes us prouder than hearing from members who've finally connected with their Irish heritage. These stories show what's possible when you have the right support.


I completed, successfully, my project to trace my family roots and to get my Irish citizenship and passport. I need to give credit where credit is due, Pam Holland and Jayne McGarvey, the wonderful genealogists, you, Mike Collins and Carina Collins."


Ernie


"I am over the moon. I have found a distant 3rd cousin... She is from the village my great-grandmother was baptized in!! This cousin still lives in the same village my great-grandmother was from. I will not only get to walk in my great-grandmother's footsteps but will get to meet distant cousins!!!"


Debbie


"I have been searching for the parents of my Great Grandfather for many, many years.

With the help of the Green Room and Pam Holland, I have found out where he actually applied for naturalisation, and I am now a little closer... I would have never searched for him there."

HOW TO KNOW IF THE GREEN ROOM IS RIGHT FOR YOU...

The Green Room is NOT for everyone, and we'd prefer to help you decide if it's not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste any of your time. Let's have a look at what we mean...

WHO THE GREEN ROOM IS FOR

  • People who are ready to take a leap forward with their Irish family history research. If you follow our direction and take action  - you will see progress.
  • Someone who is curious, eager to learn and can follow up on suggestions from our in-house experts, genealogists and other members.
  • People who are happy to share their own approaches and discoveries so others can learn. Even better if you like encouraging others and celebrating when they succeed!
  • Someone who is comfortable with the basics of interacting with a computer (typing, copying and pasting, playing videos etc.)
  • People who take action - who aren’t just going to watch some training videos and never try things out. While we provide the training and resources, but you still need to put the work in!

WHO THE GREEN ROOM IS NOT FOR

  • Someone who just "dumps" all of their research into a forum and says "if anyone knows anything let me know". 
  • People who just don't know their way around a computer screen. You will only get results if you are comfortable with typing, following online tutorials etc.
  • Close-minded individuals who have already decided that their research is flawless - and they don't like to be challenged. 
  • Someone who is looking for a done-for-you service. We’re not paid-by-the-hour genealogists, and we don't do your research for you - but give guidance and support along the way.
  • People who want guaranteed results - we know that our approach works for the majority of people but cannot guarantee that you will get specific results from following our advice. I'm afraid no one can give a promise like that!

It might seem unusual, to try to talk you OUT of being a member of the Green Room - but if our approach is not right for you then we wish you luck. We have a huge interest in your success - and that starts with both of us making sure The Green Room is the right fit for you before joining.

"Many of us have trouble finding a link to our past, but this site takes you closer to your roots even without the actual records, and gives a sense of being with our ancestors. Do keep up this wonderful service."


Jack Coffey, USA
