Jane uses her professional skills as a genealogist, local historian and academic researcher to investigate the local history and historiography of an area and the people who resided within it. Her sessions will cover the pre-Famine and post-Famine era, local historical events and the exploration of the local landscape and its intersection with the local community.

This topic will use student’s family histories to explore emigration and settlement as a means of looking at place of origin and place of settlement. The students will be using census returns (1901, 1911 & 1926) as well as passenger ship lists to piece together these stories. They will also be able to focus on a particular emigrant story or family location as part of their research.

This topic will ask students to research a specific place using a variety of maps through the Heritage Maps viewer and other sources. They will be asked to note the changes in the landscape and in population using CSO historical census reports. They will be able to focus on a specific local townland or place if desired.

This topic will introduce students to the principles and techniques of oral history interviewing. Students will learn how to prepare thoughtful questions and conduct an interview with an older family member or person in their community to record their memories and experiences. They may choose to explore recollections of a significant local event or capture personal memories of childhood. Through this process, students will develop interviewing, listening, and recording skills while helping to preserve valuable family and community histories for future generations.
