Hello,

My name is Sean McDonagh and I am an historian who specialises in Scottish and Irish social history with a particular focus on highlighting ‘history from below’ concerning the ‘long nineteenth century’ period.

Doing History

I work in adult education as a lecturer and associate lecturer in History, Criminology, Politics and Sociology with the Open University, the University of Glasgow and the City of Glasgow College.

I also deliver public history lectures and have featured on television as a family history and local history expert (The Warp, The Weft and The Weaver, BBC NI, Aired: 05/2025)

I am recognised as an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (AFRHist) on account of my teaching expertise as well as my family history and heritage citizenship services that I also provide.

Doing Research and Irish Citizenship

Specifically, I offer a comprehensive family history research and Irish Citizenship and Passport provision service which you can read more about here https://seanmcdon.org/

In short, if you are seeking the following, then please do get in touch:

– family history research (family tree creation)

– Irish heritage research

– Irish citizenship by descent (Foreign Birth Registration)

– Irish Passport provision

Speak soon,

Sean
