A handwritten letter from County Clare, Ireland with a green Irish postage stamp and Co. Clare postmark

The idea

Ireland has been waiting to write to you.

There are 32 million Americans with Irish ancestry. Most of them have a grandmother's story, a county name, a surname that points somewhere across the Atlantic. But Ireland has never written back.

Until now. Each month, I sit down in a different corner of Ireland and write you a letter. About the place your family came from. About what Ireland looks and sounds and smells like today.

"I wanted to reach through the screen and hand you something real. Something with a stamp on it, and an Irish postmark, and my handwriting on the envelope."

It arrives in your American mailbox — posted from Ireland. Just for you. And if you feel like writing back, I'd love to hear from you.

How it works

Three small steps —
and Ireland is writing to you.

No apps. No accounts to manage. Just a real letter, in real ink, dropped into a real Irish postbox each month — and posted to your door in America.

Step One

You tell us your roots

Share your Irish surname and the county your family came from. That's all we need to make every letter personal to you.

Step Two

We write from Ireland

Each month, your letter is written and posted from somewhere in Ireland — Irish stamp, Irish postmark, words that could only come from here.

Step Three

Ireland arrives at your door

Your letter lands in your American mailbox within 7–14 days. Many subscribers frame them. Some read them aloud at family dinners.

Your first letter goes in the post within seven days of subscribing.

Send something home

The most extraordinary thing we do.

We have a PO box in Ireland. Which means you can post us something — a family photograph, a letter, a small keepsake — and we'll take it somewhere in Ireland that matters to your family's story.

Your grandmother's emigration photo, held up on a Kerry hillside. A coin from your grandfather's collection, placed on a stone wall in Galway. Photographed, documented, and returned to you with a full letter about the place.

Nothing else like this exists. Only someone actually in Ireland could do it.

Send a photograph

We take it to your county, photograph it in the landscape, return the original safely.

$60

Leave something behind

A small object placed in Ireland permanently. Photo + letter sent to you.

The certificate

Not a generic print from a website. A real document, from a real person in Ireland, posted to your American door.

What they say about us

“

My grandmother came from Kerry and never talked about it. Reading my first letter, I actually cried. It felt like she was finally speaking.

“

I bought the voice note for my dad's 70th birthday. He played it three times at dinner and made everyone listen. Best $30 I've ever spent.

“

We sent a photo of my wife's grandfather taken in 1921. Getting it back — photographed on a Galway hillside — was one of the most moving things that's ever arrived in our post.

BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE

You might be wondering...

I get asked these a lot. Here are my honest answers.

Yes — every letter is written, stamped with an Irish stamp, and posted from a post office in Ireland. The postmark is real. There's no warehouse in New Jersey pretending to be us.

No problem. Tell us your Irish surname and we'll research the most likely county of origin. Most Irish surnames map to a specific province or county — we'll do the detective work.

Letters typically arrive within 7–14 days of posting. An Post is reliable for international mail, though occasionally a letter takes a little longer. Part of the charm, we think.

Absolutely — it's one of our most popular gifts. At checkout you can enter the recipient's name and address. We'll post directly to them with a note explaining it's from you.

We treat every photograph like the irreplaceable thing it is. We log it on arrival, keep it in a labelled protective sleeve, and return it via tracked post. We've never lost one.

Yes, anytime. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through. Just drop us an email and we'll cancel before your next billing date.
