In the April edition (episode 2 of Season 10) of the “This month at the IGSI” podcast, genealogist Dave Miller begins the episode by providing the dates for the April “Irish Saturday” event, which is scheduled for April 9th.

Dave also talks about the April webinar that will be hosted by Michael Brophy. Michael’s presentation on April 20th is titled "Shamrocks in Cyberspace: Irish Genealogy Databases"!  Michael will discuss how information on our Irish ancestors is exploding on the internet and goes over the best websites for Irish research. Landmark additions such as Catholic Church records and vital records will be presented. Finding aids for further Irish research are also assessed and critiqued in this session. Dave lists all that is happening with Irish resources on the internet.

Dave also interviews a lady in Ireland who teaches the Irish language on the internet. She has developed programs that can be used at your leisure from beginner to advanced levels. These courses were started so that others around the world with Irish ancestry can not only learn and understand the terminology of the language but also understand the history and the culture behind the Irish language and its meaning. And she shows how to properly pronounce Gaeilge!
