CLARE ROOTS SOCIETY CLARE ROOTS SOCIETY Clare Roots Society was founded in 2006 It is comprised of a group of genealogy minded individuals who created the society for the purpose of sharing, recording and preserving genealogical and local information for County Clare. Members are always happy to share our local knowledge and tips from our own genealogy experience. We do not undertake research due to time constraints and resources. The National Library has a list of researchers. (In presentation)
