[Genealib] Irish genealogy programming

[Judy Shappee]

If "Finding Your Ancestors in Ireland" means mainly the country of
Ireland, I would not start with that one. Many people may know only that
they are Irish and not know the ancestral town of origin.  "Tracing the
Irish in U.S. Records" sounds better to me because those records can
lead to the town of origin, and we should work from the present to the
past.

hi all,

 

hope i can pick your brains...

 

i am trying to schedule an Irish genealogy program for March...and am
wondering, in your experience, which of the following six presentatins
might appeal the most to a general genealogical audience:

 

<<Finding Your Ancestors in Ireland
Brief Summary: This is a good overview of procedures to follow in
performing Irish research. Lots of examples illustrate the wide variety
of records that can be utilized in the research process.


Tracing the Irish in U.S. Records
Brief Summary: An overview of U.S. records and research procedures with
a special emphasis on unique sources for finding Irish ancestors.

thank you for your guidance!
