You may also set up an appointment with the Irish Family Research Centre for a one-on-one consultation for your own custom genealogy research.

Neolithic passage tombs dating back over 5,000 years making them older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. We will continue to make our way up to Northern Ireland and the great city of Belfast - Nashville’s Sister City. We will settle into our city center hotel and give you some time to explore. Don’t miss the Crown Bar (also known as the Crown Liquor Saloon) - will you step on the crown in the doorway or over it? We will gather for a group dinner in our hotel this evening. (B,D)

give you time to wander around this charming seaside town and get some lunch. We will continue up to the Antrim coast to the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway. Created by volcanic activity, these 40,000 basalt columns rise out of the sea and cause many to wonder if the legends of Finn MacCool are true.
