[Genealib] Irish genealogy programming

[Kathy O'Leary]

I would recommend a talk on finding your ancestors in Ireland.  Many people have the idea that all the records burned in Dublin in the 1920s.  A talk about available records would dispel this idea.  I have given many talks in March about Irish genealogy and they have been well-received.

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!
