Students are guided through the process of Irish genealogy research, including:

Types of genealogical records.
Where to find records.
Opportunity to create their own personal family history project, as a keepsake, a gift for family members, and skills-training ahead of the Leaving Certificate History Research Study Report.
Stories of Irish Emigration from the Great Famine and beyond.

'My grandparents' story’ or ‘Who do you think you are?

An interactive introduction to creating and compiling a genealogical record using Irish civil, church and census records. Using these three record sets, students will build a profile of their grandparents and great-grandparents, using worksheets known as Ancestor Charts, to learn how to trace the life and experiences of an ancestor from birth to death.

Irish emigration since the Great Famine

Using case studies, students will hear stories of Irish emigrants who left in the wake of the Great Famine to destinations such as America, Australia, and as far ranging as Argentina and South Africa. They will learn about the push-and-pull factors specific to these destinations, how Irish names are dotted around the globe and the overall story of how we have a Diaspora of over 70 million people, dwarfing our current island population of 5 million.

What was life like for Irish schoolchildren in your area in the 1930s?

Students learn about the traditions, legends, saints and histories of their local area as told through the handwritten words of Irish schoolchildren in the 1930s. They can work in groups to discuss and debate the origins of traditions and how these have evolved over the past one hundred years, all the while becoming comfortable with interpreting these astonishing (digitised) records.
