Irish Genealogy Meet
« on: Saturday 09 April 11 17:53 BST (UK) »
Hey everyone  :)

I'm in the thinking process here at the moment and just wondering if anyone would be interested in the possibility of coming to a meet in Dublin in Mid-October. As its my first time doing this, so would like to keep it to a small this time around. Was thinking, maybe arrive on a Friday evening and have dinner somewhere...then on the Saturday, head to the National Library of Ireland for research stuff. Just a thought of what to do....

I know its early putting this up but thought I would get an idea of who would like to go and would love to meet you all too  ;D

The surnames, which I am interested in are; Maternal side: Ryan, Kevin, Grant, Grady, Gleeson, Walsh, Dwyer, Paternal side: O' Dwyer, Woodlock, Rochford & Britton - all in Tipperary; and Kelly and Hoynes in Laois.

Ryan, Campbell, Luttrell, Grant, Grahame, Bainbridge and Brown in Queensland, Australia

Tighe in Victoria, Australia.

Grant in Philadelphia, Sullivan and Penny in New York; and Britton in Connecticut

Hi Annie

Sounds good BUT not sure re the National Library as is only Catholic records there and I kinda need both tho wouldn't want to drag everyone out to Churchdown - having been before.

Tho the library has an excellent geneaology centre have to say. Also woirth pointing out to use the National Library records you need a reader card so peeps who don't have one need to bring passport sized photos for getting one and getting in.

Put us down for 3 possibles!

Cool beans....

Think it would be worth putting up the National Library of Ireland website for peeps so they know what to expect...haven't been up there myself so going to take a look too lol. http://www.nli.ie/en/intro/how-to-find-us.aspx. As Ann stated, we would all have to get readers tickets so the information is there about it all..cheers Ann

a couple of details to add to the topic - to view RC parish records, tithe records, or newspapers you only need what's called a newspaper pass. You just collect this at reception - no signing on required

The NLI is only open on Saturdays up to 1 o'clock, so maybe people with a few items to check would be better starting their searches on  a weekday.

The RCB Library is only open Monday to Friday

Thanks for throwing that up Shane...

Maybe we should meet in Dublin on Friday lunchtime and go down then and have dinner in the evening and then back to the NLI on Saturday morning??

I presume we Dubliners would be welcome to join in the fun?!

count me in if I'm around, though there's a move afoot in the family for a trip away in October.
