[Genealib] Irish genealogy programming

[Janice Schultz]

Deena,
Finding Your Ancestors in Ireland sounds like a good overview and would be beneficial to a wide range of people.  However, if you can do all of those why not do a series?  Start with the basic program and add the other in depth programs in weeks following - one a week for x number of weeks.
