The Septs is IGSI’s award-winning quarterly journal and one of the benefits of IGSI membership. It combines
- information about Irish genealogical research methods and examples of successful searches,
- information about IGSI and other goings on in the world of Irish genealogy,
- articles about various aspects of Irish history and the Irish Diaspora
- pointers to more information in other locations.
Copies of
The Septs are in libraries throughout the world – from Ireland’s National Library and many County libraries to countries as far-afield as Australia and international libraries like the
LDS Family History Library and the U.S. Library of Congress.
Since 1993 many issues of
The Septs have featured a county in Ireland or Northern Ireland. In 2003 we completed the first series and have since revisited several of the earliest Ireland counties covered and, in other issues, featured places where many Irish immigrants settled.
