With such a rich History, Heritage and a story to tell, a trip to The Queenstown Story @ Cobh Heritage Centre is a must. This beautiful, informative cultural centre is inventively situated within Cobh's restored Victorian Railway station, a building holding its own historic story. Given that so many from Ireland's past travelled through Cobh(Queenstown), one of the world's finest natural harbours, visitors can learn historic and emotive recounts of The Queenstown Story, where over three million Irish people emigrated from this port town in search of a new life. Everything from the sinking of the Titanic and The Lusitania, to the transportation of the forgotten Irish who endured forced labour in Cromwellian times to the West Indies and American Colonies as well as the stories of emigration to Canada and North America, is inventively displayed in a variety of modern, tasteful and artistic ways. Relax, and "Walk in the Footsteps of our Emigrant Ancestors"

Very impressed with the quality of this center! The way the information is presented feels immersive and gave me a strong sense of how my ancestors would have felt as they made their journey to America in the 1890s. I met with the genealogist and learned where my relative lived and was baptized in Cork city. It was a very meaningful visit.

Christy Keating was very patient and thorough. He was able to find my great grandparents, where they were from and even gave me the name of the ships that transported them. We are very pleased!

My husband and I visited Christy, the genealogist, to find out more about my Irish family history. For years I have heard many stories about my father's family emigrating to the USA during the potato famine. In just one visit, I learned that most of the stories were a bit exaggerated, (hmmm an Irish trait perhaps?), and Christy provided us with piles of new and exciting information. I was so excited I went back to the hotel room and began researching sites he recommended immediately. This led to more and more questions so...to Christy's surprise, we changed our travel plans and spent another afternoon talking with him to clarify even more information. I cannot express how informative and fun he was as we uncovered many interesting facts! He is so knowledgable and willing to answer even the craziest questions. I highly recommend a stop and a visit with him (call first) if you are at all interested in learning whether or not you have Irish roots. The minute I landed in Ireland, I felt a sense of belonging that I could not explain. The people, the beautiful scenery, the food, etc. all felt so welcoming. Then to learn I have familial roots on both sides of my family which made me proud! I am already planning a trip back. When I left, I gave Christy a big hug and a proper Irish goodbye. He changed my life forever. Don't miss your opportunity! Cobh Heritage Center!
