Blogs from the SeventyMillion Irish Project: a social project to find, map and connect the global Irish diaspora.

What is the SeventyMillion Project?

Good question! There are 70 million people around the world of Irish heritage or ancestry and the SeventyMillion Project is an attempt to find out where they are and what their Irish link means to them. Already 1035 people have shared their thoughts on their Irish heritage. (Play the movie to see what they’ve said!)

So, if you are Irish, or you have an Irish parent, grandparent, great grandparent, and it means something to you, tell us about it. Just find your location on the map and click the “Add me” button. You are one of SeventyMillion! (Click here if you are from Paraguay orĀ  Bolivia)
