UK event: Tracing Irish Ancestors at The National Archives, Kew
This Thursday (20 May 2010), Audrey Collins will be giving a talk on tracing Irish ancestors at The National Archives, Kew, England. The talk will take place between 14:00 and 15:00.
The National Archives at Kew, England contain many records that are relevant to researchers of Irish history and genealogy as for many years the island of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom (six Irish counties are part of the UK today).
Audrey will discuss a number of sources including those that are specifically Irish such as the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) records and others that are not specifically Irish but may contain references to Irish people - for instance the records of the armed forces.
For further information take a look at The National Archives website.
