Family History

Hello everyone! Recently ive been digging into my families history and recently i finally broke through the third wall of trouble getting past my 4th great grandfather. i have mainly found out most of what i know by matching dates, census records and siblings/children. i havent done dna yet but let me just get to the point. ive always wanted be a historian/archeologist. The first place i went to start getting my self into is researching my family history. so far i have traced other parts of my family as far back as the year 900. im mainly hear asking for a few suggestions on getting back past the 1660s on the gilmore side, but due to a fire in dublin 1920 most of my family's records were lost/destroyed. Im currently in college for diesel technician associates degree but plan to go to school again afterwards so i can also chase my passion on history, but right now i cant go too deep into because i am close to graduating. i really wanted to seek a professional opinion because my family history is really important to not only me but my family.
