Topic: "How to Trace Your Irish Ancestors Back to the Homeland"
Tracing your Irish ancestry back to Ireland can feel like a daunting task. In this meeting, we will discuss how known facts and family stories can help to focus your research.  We will discuss how to get the most out of online resources, how to make use of church records, public registers, and the wealth of other material that can be found in Irish archival facilities and published resource.  

 

 

Our Purpose:
Our writing group has two purposes. One is to encourage its participants to be actively engaged in writing something relating to their family history. It could be a personal memory, a life story or biographical sketch, or a story about an ancestor.  The other purpose is to provide a comfortable environment that is friendly and nurturing yet challenging. Participants can learn ways to bring genealogy to life and to make their writing engaging and interesting to others.  
 
This is a special interest group of the JCGS and is a free benefit of membership. Members interested in writing about their family history are welcome to participate and will get the most benefit by attending on a regular basis and becoming actively involved.
