The Shelbourne’s Genealogy Butler Helps Guests Find Their Irish Roots

Jan 26, 2015
Daily / Feature

With conservative estimates suggesting at least 10 percent of the U.S. population can trace their ancestry to Ireland, The Shelbourne’s genealogy butler offers a popular service for guests interested in finding their roots.

The Dublin hotel works with Irish genealogy expert Helen Kelly to give interested guests a jumpstart when it comes to tracing their Irish ancestry.

Kelly, one of Ireland’s leading accredited genealogists and a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists in Ireland, has also served as a consultant genealogist at some of Ireland’s national repositories, such as the Genealogical Office, National Library of Ireland and National Archives of Ireland.

In the course of a one-hour advisory session, Kelly assesses the information on a family’s Irish emigrants and draws up a practical research plan.

Guests may reserve a session with The Shelbourne’s genealogy butler with a confirmed hotel reservation. Participating guests receive an online assessment form to complete prior to your arrival so Kelly can initiate the research process.

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
