I am passing this on...I attended it last year in Portland OR and enjoyed the day and learned much. If they were in my area this year, I would attend again........Dr Trainor is worth the cost all by himself, with his sense of humor and inside stories about the National Archives of Ireland. Please see below details of Ulster Historical Foundation's Irish genealogical lecture tour in the USA from 16-26 June 2007. This tour will be undertaken by Executive Director, Fintan Mullan and former Research Director, Dr Brian Trainor. We should also like to advise that Fintan Mullan will be a presenter in the genealogy area of the Northern Ireland exhibits during the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC from 27 June to 08 July 2007. We would ask members to help publicise these lecture dates to your own family history society, friends and the wider internet community.

I also had the privilege of hearing Dr. Trainor last fall at Estes Park Colorado, during our annual Highland Festival. He is very entertaining and informative. -- We will not forget! www.remember-9-11.com www.ciarancummings.com
