FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS...




On Saturday 19th March next, a one day conference on helping people to find their ancestors will happen at the Clayton Hotel, Silversprings, Cork City. 

NOTE: This conference applies to general Irish research, not just Cork.

FINDING YOUR ANCESTORS

Cork Genealogical Society & the Irish Genealogical Research Society are proud to announce a co-hosted one day conference in Cork. The day will consist of three speakers and a workshop. 

The IGRS, celebrating its 80th year, will also hold their AGM as part of the day’s events.
