Fintan Mullan and Gillian Hunt from the Ulster Historical Foundation will present a seminar on Irish and Scots-Irish genealogy for beginners and active family historians.

Program topics will include:

• Using landed estate records: tracing families in the 18th & 19th century.
• Using the Registry of Deeds: an important source for 18th century research.
• Newspapers as a source for Irish research.
• The Ulster Plantation and sources for finding 17th century families in Ireland (not just Ulster).

The seminars provide very practical and detailed information and will explore strategies for researching Irish and Scots-Irish ancestors. The program content covers the whole island of Ireland, not solely Ulster.

The presenters are from one of Ireland’s foremost genealogy research organisations and publishing houses and they will give advice on what to do and where to go next. 

These sessions will help the beginner and the seasoned genealogist alike.
