Call us on +353(41)2133000 to discuss how we can be of assistance

It is sometimes the case that people pass away with no known next-of-kin. Under such tragic circumstances, Erin Research is able to assist the public sector in tracing family relatives, often within 24 hours.

We work with local authorities, coroners, hospitals and financial institutions when they encounter a scenario whereby a deceased person’s relatives need to be traced.

If a city or county council experiences the unfortunate circumstance where a person dies and their next of kin are unknown, we offer our probate genealogy and tracing services free of charge to that referring authority.

Our aim is to assist that city or county council in finding family relatives as quickly as possible. We often trace next of kin within 24 hours which then enables that person to notify other known family members of the Deceased’s passing.

Availing of this service often means that the Deceased’s extended family relatives can attend the funeral and give that person a dignified final farewell.
