Please note: <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>To devote sufficient time to each researcher in Ireland, each trip is limited to </strong></span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>the first 15 registrants who send their deposit. <strong>It is required that you have <span style="text-decoration: underline;">at least</span> identified the county of origin of your ancestor.<br /></strong></strong></span></p> <h4><strong>Research Objectives</strong></h4> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Please take the time to prepare research objectives for review by the trip director</strong></span>. <strong>A Celtic Quest Research Objectives Form</strong> will be e-mailed to you shortly after you register. Please complete this form with as much detail as possible, including the sources for your information, and return the completed form via email. Then, to help make your valuable research time in Ireland more productive, and to help you determine which research facilities will be most beneficial, you will receive up to 3 hours of pre-trip telephone consultation (can be multiple sessions) with your trip director.</p> <h4><strong>Optional Evening Consultations</strong></h4> <p>On certain evenings, you may schedule an appointment with your trip director to discuss and reevaluate your research objectives.</p> <h4><strong>Need a Roommate to Reduce Costs?</strong></h4> <p>We will assist you in finding a roommate if you would like to share a room with another researcher. Prices are Double occupancy, but Single rooms are available for a higher fee. Non-researching companions are also welcome. Please see the Rate Information page or the Registration Form for complete fee information.</p> <h4><strong>Travel Arrangements</strong></h4> <p>For attendee travel flexibility, participants are responsible for their own air and ground transportation. Most attendees take time before or after the research trip to tour or visit their ancestral homes.</p> <h4><strong>Proof of Overseas Medical Coverage</strong></h4> <p>All participants will be required to show proof of overseas medical coverage prior to submitting final payment. Travel insurance is optional and is available through AAA, Travelguard.com, and other organizations.
