In the April episode of the “This month at the IGSI” podcast (episode 10 of season 4), genealogist Dave Miller talks about all the IGSI events scheduled for the month.  

Dave interviewed the editor of the IGSI newsletter, Pat Sheehan. Pat discusses what you can find bi-monthly in the Ginealas. Pat also mentions you don’t have to be a professional writer or editor to volunteer with Ginealas. If you have an interesting story, Pat encourages you to submit an article on your findings, or perhaps you would like to volunteer and help with the newsletter. 

Irish Saturday during the month of April will be held on April 11^th at the Hoffman Research library, which is located at the Minnesota Genealogy Center in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. If you’re in the area and have a genealogy question regarding your Irish research, stop by.  

The April webinar will be with Chris Paton. His program is titled Researching Ancestral Crisis in Ireland. This program is online and scheduled for Saturday April 18; it will run from 10:30AM until Noon Central Daylight Time (CDT). The fee to watch this webinar is $15 for members and $20 for non-members.  

Our Social Gaggle for this month will be on April 20^th. Drop in on Zoom between 6:30 – 8:00pm CDT. It is open to all and there is no registration.  

The links for both the April webinar and the Social Gaggle can be found on the Events tab (at left).
