[Genealib] Irish Genealogy Conference

[Mary Ellen Grogan]

Irish genealogy is one of the most difficult areas of research.  It really is important to learn how to use the available resources most productively in order to be successful.

TIARA (The Irish Ancestral Research Association) is a nonprofit society, based in Boston.  We are dedicated to helping family historians learn to do Irish genealogy.

As part of our mission, we have organized a 3-day conference focusing on Irish research.  There are no plans to include any Irish lectures or workshops at the upcoming national conferences.

There will be two tracks: 1) basic resources and techniques for Irish records; and 2) more advanced topics intended for those with experience in using Irish records.

If you think that this is a topic that might interest your patrons, I will be very pleased if you will let me know and I mail you some brochures.  You should email me directly at megrogan at ix.netcom.com.  Please do not reply to the list.

The TIARA website is at www.tiara.ie.  You can link directly to the Conference website at http://home.netcom.com/~megrogan/irishgenealogycruise.

Thank you.

Mary Ellen Grogan, TIARA Vice-President
