It was 6 hours long, though we didn't discover it until half way through.
We came away with a thick packet of materials for doing Irish research.
In the FHL a whole floor is devoted to British research, including Irish.
With about 3/4 of my ancestors being Irish, I have planned to spend a half year of our year her learning how to approach these records. It's considered to be among the most challenging research in the world. That half year begins this summer.
If anyone would like a copy to Irish research, I will send you the document.
And meanwhile please post all the information you have about your Irish roots. There's no point in spending that precious six months on things we collectively already know!
My grandfather, Renny Adams, visited Ireland in the 1980's. Just this morning, my mom was going through some stuff of his, and found a picture of his first cousin in Ireland. THe name on the picture was Kathleen Gerrey. THis would be Catherine McMahon's, Lorenzo Joseph Adams' 2nd wife.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, does anyone have a picture of Lorenzo Joseph ADams. It seems he must not have wanted his pic taken. I have one photo that is about 1/2 inch of him with a group of Norwalk police officers.
