Actress Lindsay Lohan’s Irish ancestry could prove a worthwhile study for genealogists with reported family links to Cork and Galway.

New York-based Lohan, 27, features in an eight-part documentary series with Oprah Winfrey beginning this Sunday.

Research conducted by genealogists in recent weeks has thrown up possible links to the star’s Irish ancestry.
