For more than a
decade the field of ancestral research in Ireland
has benefited greatly from the presence of the Association
of Professional Genealogists in Ireland. APGI is
an organisation which both represents the interests
of people engaged professionally in genealogy and
monitors the standard of their work on behalf of
their clients. Beyond its functions as an umbrella
group/regulating body, it has made positive contributions
to many areas of development, championing the record
users' cause with state-run offices and with the
Irish Genealogical Project.
