If you're researching births, marriages and deaths, parish registers or have started researching recently, you'll probably find these workshops most relevant. |
If you know the occupation or place of residence of your ancestors, or have started looking at your ancestors' lives in more depth, you'll probably find these workshops most relevant. |
If you have traced your ancestors back before the census years, are researching migrant ancestors or are looking at more in-depth social history around your ancestors' lives, you'll probably find these workshops most relevant. |
*While these sessions will prove useful whatever stage you are at in your research, they are also suitable for people who are new to genealogiy ad are presented in partnership with Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine. Attendees of these sessions will also receive a free starter park.
**These sessions on Irish Ancestry are supported by Tourism Ireland.
