Brian Gilchrist Tracing your Irish family history is indeed an adventure in learning. This workshop will teach you about the basics about the who, what, where, when and why of Irish genealogy, and include such topics as the various jurisdictions you need to know in searching for a birth, marriage and or death record; and how to locate religious registers. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of this course will be the discussion about the many special circumstances of Irish research such as the inconsistencies in names and dates � both of which can lead to doubt as to identity of an ancestor. The afternoon session will concentrate on the basic issues associated with the residence of your ancestral relations: land and property records, taxes, and estate records (Wills). The day will be topped off with detailed suggestions for finding your ancestor's place of origin in Ireland by using Canadian, Irish and British resources. We had to turn people away for this over-booked workshop when it was given in February. Register early to avoid dissappoinment for the Irish workshop in May. Speaker's bio: http://globalgenealogy.com/workshops/bio/gilchrist.htm The workshop registration includes the workshop fee, plus coffee, bottled water and snacks.

An invaluable aid for tracing ancestors in Ireland. Since its original publication in 1986, A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland has established itself as a key resource in Irish genealogical research. Now, with the addition of maps detailing the location of Roman Catholic parishes in all thirty-two counties of Ireland and Presbyterian congregations in the nine counties of Northern Ireland, this new 2nd Edition moves the book to the forefront of Irish genealogical research. Also, for the first time ever, this one volume contains a complete geographical picture of the three major religious denominations in Ireland during the middle years of the 19th century.

Most are historical reprints, though we have sourced dozens of original maps too. Sandra has spent a lot of time finding maps from 19th century historical atlases of various Ontario counties that were not ever bound into atlaes. Those maps are available individually by township and county. Not all counties are available. Also hundreds of detailed maps covering Scotland, Ireland, England, and all of Canada. Political maps, parish maps, settlement maps, and more. Even some historical reprints of maps of the USA territories where United Empire Loyalists lived prior to expulsion after the American Revolutionary War. The maps will be listed on our website during April and May. If you want to beat the crowd, drop into our store to check them out. More than half of the maps are packaged and available now. In-store maps are packaged in re-sealable, archivally-safe crystal-clear envelopes with acid-free backer boards.

The supplier that was contracted to host and manage the Upcoming Events pages on our website for the last few years, has closed up shop and disappeared with our 2007 annual fees in their pocket. We are now evaluating software programs that we can install onto our own server so that the free service can be reliably resumed. We are sorry for the inconveience that this interuption causes those organizations that used our Upcoming Events pages to post and promote their meetings and events. When a new service is established we will announce it here first. ********************************** Get your FREE SUBSCRIPTION to the Personal Edtion of our eNewsletter The Global Genealogy Personal Edtion eNewsletter has more content than this one (LIST edition).
