> Cultural and heritage grants of over $385,350 (?310,000) are also included as part of this round of grants. This includes a grant of some $124,306 (?100,000) to the Irish Cultural Centre of New England, while the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York will also receive some $58,061 (?46,710). Wouldn't it be nice if they would just let us have access to our Irish family records for free! For the old wave of Irish emigrants who are struggling to find their ancestors history in Ireland, it would be so helpful. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
