The Latest Irish Family History Centre Newsletter!

January 12th

Hello from all of us here at the Irish Family History Centre and welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter!

We hope you all enjoyed the end of 2018 and are having a wonderfully research rich 2019 so far.

Read on to discover our Research Tip from Expert Genealogist, Fiona Fitzsimons, who is starting this year as she means to go on. Also, our Spotlight on Publications looks ahead to the centenary of the first sitting of the Dáil (Irish Parliament) later this month with the Minutes of the Proceedings of the First Dáil.

We have Surname Certificates now on sale at the Irish Family History Centre and you can find information on our events for Tradfest 2019 below. We also have a round up of a few stories we think will be of interest to you, like information on the free webinar series run by APG.

Finally, we would like to apologise to our Irish Lives Remembered readers for any technical issues you have experienced since the publication of the latest issue. The website is currently undergoing some changes, but we would like you all to know that your data is secure. You can also view and download the latest issue at www.irishlivesremembered.ie. We are working hard to resolve all issues and we kindly thank you for your patience.

Our Autumn/Winter 2018 issue is a special edition with double the amount of content to enjoy, and some fantastic articles about World War I, to mark the Centenary of the Armistice last November. It's a really great read, with brilliant pieces from some of the biggest names in Irish Genealogy.

Enjoy!

Show off your Irish roots with an Irish Family History Centre Surname Poster - also the perfect gift idea for any friends and family interested in family history!

SPOTLIGHT ON PUBLICATIONS
This weeks Spotlight is a must read in the build up to the centenary of the first sitting of the Dáil on the 21st of January. Originally published in 1921 and republished here on fully-searchable CD-Rom are the Minutes of the Proceedings. This fascinating and valuable historical document, presented in Irish & English, is an historical record of the initial hopes and aspirations of the founders of the first Dáil. It should not be forgotten that the first Dáil was illegal and sat while Ireland was still under the rule of Westminster politicians and Dublin Castle administration.
