SAT

3:00 PM
Fintan Mullan returns June 4, 3-10 PM. Researching your Irish Families Roots. Ulster Historical Foundation Executive Director, Mr. Fintan Mullan and research Director, Dr. Bryan Trainor (former director of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland). Both speakers will deliver presentations on a wide range of themes relating to Irish Family History Research and using the archives in Ireland. Also they will bring a laptop database with them to search records on site.
How do you go about tracing
your Irish ancestors? Where do you begin, and is it even possible? Many people
not familiar with 
Irish
research may have heard the myth that Irish genealogy is difficult if not impossible.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Ireland has some superb historical
records, in some instances, records that are unique in Western Europe. Irish
history is a woven fabric made up of historical documentation, oral tradition,
sense of place and of identity, of belonging, and of loss. It may not always
be straightforward but with a practical approach and a sound foundation, the
experience can be a life-enhancing journey of discovery.
at the Irish Cultural Center .
