Our Passion and Commitment

Irish By Descent is a U.S.-based education company with a mission to make navigating Ireland's citizenship-by-descent process more accessible, clear, and affordable. Our self-paced online Guide was specifically designed to help Americans with a grandparent born on the island of Ireland pursue Irish citizenship through a process called Foreign Birth Registration. We are genuinely passionate about helping Americans pursue Irish citizenship-by-descent while reconnecting meaningfully with their Irish heritage. We hope that this enthusiasm is reflected in the way we’ve designed the learning experience. Throughout the Guide, you’ll see handpicked historical images, carefully chosen quotes to open lessons, and modern photos that highlight the natural beauty of the Emerald Isle.
