In light of precautions related to Covid-19, 

the Hoffman Research Library and the Minnesota Genealogy Center 

 are CLOSED until further notice.  

No classes, no meetings or research onsite.

Many of us are in a “Shelter in Place” due to coronavirus.  If you have finished reading all the books you have available and are as of sick of binge watching Netflix we have a suggestion for you. 

 

Log into the IGSI website and read (or reread) Research Guidelines and Research Resources.  While you’re at it, take another look at Surname Interests to add or compare notes with other IGSI members for possible new family members you might not have known existed.  Have fun!

 

Be safe, be well.

Irish Genealogical Society International (IGSI) and the Canadian Interest Group (CIG) of the Minnesota Genealogical Society are partnering to offer an exciting learning opportunity. This FREE webinar is available to all CIG and IGSI members.

 

Being the 4^th largest ethnic group in Canada according to census records, the Irish Canadians have been coming to Canada since the 1500s. Follow the migration trails the Irish took from Ireland to Canada and learn where they settled, becoming part of the fabric of a nation and what information is available on these hardy folk. A timeline of historical migration will be discussed along with available records that created a permanent stamp on their Irish existence in Canada.
