Irish Ancestry?

Question:

Irish Ancestry?

I am an American woman looking to find my ancestry in Ireland. My family come from Mayo (Finn) and Donegal (Devine). How can I go about trying to look up my ancestors?

Many places to look, here are a few. The UK lists have Ireland records also. The Irish sites are also a mix.

Genforum will give you people to talk to, with similar surname interests, Family Search will give you deceased searches, and the Ellis Island and other passenger sites will give you much information about who came over, from where, when and with whom where they were from, what the do.

Best of luck, keep going at it.
