0 Comments

 

“The Irish are Coming!” is the call you hear these days from Carla Maitland, Public Relations Director and newly elected 2014 Vice President of the Tennessee Genealogical Society. The Ulster Historical Foundation is a ”non-profit organization founded in 1956 to promote interest in Irish genealogy and history, with particular reference to the historical nine county province of Ulster. The Foundation is one of the leading genealogical research agencies in Ireland and a major publisher of historical, educational and genealogical source books. It has also devised a series of ground breaking online historical and genealogical resources, which have helped to transform the availability of Irish records for family historians at home and abroad.”

The Tennessee Genealogical Society is excited to have the Ulster Historical Foundation come to do an all day Seminar featuring Fintan Mullan, Executive Director and Gillian Hunt, Genealogist, that will be FREE. More information on this seminar as well as a downloadable registration form can be found at www.tngs.org. Registration is on a first come, first serve basis, so reserve your seat soon! The date is Saturday, March 15, 2014!

Sack lunches will be provided for $7.50, so be sure to place your order now. Drinks and desserts will be provided. 

Here are the informative topics that will be covered:

  • Introduction to Irish and Scots-Irish Family History Research
  • Researching the Farming Community in the 18th and 19th Centuries
