January 21, 2023 - Irish Church Records: Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland presented by Fiona Fitzsimons
Saturday, January 21, 2023, 10:30 AM - Noon CST (UTC-6)
$15 for IGSI members (with Discount Code); $25 for non-members
Church records offer some of the earliest evidence we have for Irish family history. Using the records of the Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland, this talk explores what records were made, what survives, and where and how to access them. Irish church records are an indispensable source for social history and allow us to trace a rapidly changing Irish society.
