Flyleaf Press Acquired By Ancestor Network: A New Chapter in Irish Genealogy Publishing Begins
19 September 2014
Dublin, Ireland, 19 September 2014. Ancestor Network Ltd., the leading Irish family history services
company, announced today that it has acquired Flyleaf
Press, the specialist
Irish genealogy publisher.
Ancestor Network, the leading probate
and genealogy services provider, has been at the forefront of the Irish family
history market for over five years. It has provided genealogy advisory services
for public visitors to the National Archives of Ireland, the National Library
of Ireland, and the Kerry Genealogy Roadshow.
It was the primary genealogy researcher for RTE’s ‘The Genealogy
Roadshow’ and has successfully managed popular genealogy educational courses
and events across Ireland such as the Brian Ború Millennium Festival in Clare,
Tipperary, Galway and Dublin, and the Monaghan Genealogy ‘Home to the Little
Hills’ Training courses.
Founded by Dr. James Ryan in 1987,
Flyleaf Press is Ireland’s major specialist publisher of family history and
genealogy titles. Flyleaf specialises in
high-quality ‘how to’ guides for research in various counties of Ireland. It also publishes reference works on Church
Records, Census records and wills.
Flyleaf’s books are researched and written by highly qualified genealogists
and they contain information vital to both amateur and professional
genealogists and local history researchers.
This acquisition, coupled with the
success of Ancestor Network’s research, probate, advisory, consultancy,
educational and training services, forms an important part of the growth
strategy set out by John Hamrock, Managing Director of Ancestor Network, and
his board of directors.
Together Ancestor Network and Flyleaf
Press will create one of the fastest growing Irish genealogy businesses. The
two organisations will provide customers with easier access and more relevant
information to help add colour and depth to Irish family history.
Flyleaf Press will maintain its own
brand identity and www.flyleaf.ie website, but the two organisations will enjoy
greater economies of scale in marketing, sales, financial and operational
functions. Transaction details were not disclosed.
John Hamrock, Managing Director of
Ancestor Network, said: “Ancestor Network’s strategy is about growth and the
Irish Diaspora consumer and probate market sectors are key. Our purchase of
Flyleaf Press, combined with our existing global Irish Diaspora customer base,
gives us an excellent platform for expansion in the Irish family history
market. Together we can provide a dynamic family history experience that offers
customers the opportunity to make a real connection with their Irish family
heritage.”
Dr. James Ryan, founder of Flyleaf
Press, said: “We are thrilled to join forces with Ancestor Network and become a
part of their family of Irish genealogy and family history services and
products. The combination of our organisations will provide Irish family
history enthusiasts with unprecedented access to the stories of their ancestors.
Expect Flyleaf Press to grow stronger with Ancestor Network’s support and to
continue to drive innovation in the Irish family history sector, particularly
in the area of e-publishing.”

Press Release
Saturday 31st May 2014
Free genealogy advisory service in the National Library
of Ireland, Summer 2014.
Eneclann &
Ancestor Network make it a hat trick!
The joint
consortium of Eneclann and Ancestor Network are delighted to announce that they
have been selected by the National Library of Ireland to enhance its provision
of Summer genealogy services, following a competitive tendering process.
Speaking on behalf of the National Library of Ireland,
Honora Faul said today:
“We’re delighted to welcome back Eneclann & Ancestor
Network, to support and enhance our Summer genealogy service. It’s an invaluable service for anyone tracing
their family history.”
Fiona Fitzsimons, Eneclann:
“We’re very happy to have been chosen to provide the genealogy advisory
service again this summer. We look
forward to working alongside Francis O’Carroll and Christina McDonnell, our
professional colleagues from the Library.
In the Summers of 2012 and 2013
we saw a significant rise in the numbers that availed of the genealogy
service. We hope to welcome a record
number of visitors to the Library this summer.”
Hilary Mc Donagh of Ancestor Network:
“We are delighted to be part of this wonderful
role for a third year running. It’s a
privilege for us to assist visitors to the Library and to help them trace their
family history. Being part of the
Library’s genealogy service allows us to share our expertise, but it means we
come face to face with the ordinary Joe or Josephine, and learn what they
are most interested in. We love to team
up with our friends in Eneclann: both organisations can work together to help
the public with all their research needs”
Summer hours for the genealogy advisory service in the
National Library of Ireland commences Tuesday 2nd June 2014.
The service is free to all visitors to the Library.
9.30 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. Monday to Friday,
