Citizenship by Descent in Ireland

Who is the closest person in your direct line who was born on the island of Ireland?

Born on the island, the Republic or Northern Ireland, rather than simply Irish. Direct line means your parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, not aunts, uncles or cousins. If more than one applies, choose the closest to you. If you are unsure, ask your oldest relatives for places of birth, then check the civil birth certificate: Irish birth records from 1864 are searchable online.
