March 2024 Genealogy Event
Event by Irish Interest Group - Lower North Island
Collective Community Hub
Join experts Fintan Mullan and Gillian Hunt from the Ulster Historical Foundation to learn how to get the most out of Irish resources and records, gain strategies for breaking down brick walls, and grasp important historical context that may help fill in gaps in your research.
On Friday there's an opening reception with introductory presentations and on Saturday a full-day seminar. Come along to both, or just one of the days. There'll be something for those just beginning their Irish research and for more experienced researchers.

Decks decks Ashton building
WORK WANTED 🙋♂️. Anytime is a good time to have your decks and structures checked for deteriorating timbers and fixings . Rot and rust don't just fix itself. Those areas that don't seem as stable or solid as they did , should be checked , heavy mould builds up and traps moisture damaging timber .Handrails that have movement when leaned against can be a sign of fixings failing.
