GRENHAM'S Irish Recordfinder
GRENHAM'S Irish Recordfinder is an expert system for genealogical research on Irish records. It is designed to allow someone with no knowledge of genealogical records to obtain a detailed custom-made analysis of all Irish records relevant in researching a particular ancestor.

All of the record sources included in the Recordfinder are relationally connected, and organised around simple, easy-to-follow forms. What this means is that for every townland, town or street throughout the island of Ireland all relevant genealogical records are visible at the click of a button.

The Recordfinder reproduces in a compact automated format the expertise of a professional genealogist applied to all the major Irish genealogical reference works to produce a detailed customised research outline.
