Out. Ireland XO is an Irish-government
sponsored project based on a simple idea. Instead of waiting for people of Irish
heritage from around the world abroad to come to Ireland to trace their
ancestry, the people of Ireland, organised parish by parish are going the other
way; through national and local records, we are identifying who emigrated from
Ireland, tracing them and their descendants across the world. At present, the
national pilot project is well underway in South-East Galway and
is set to expand nationally in the future.?
