Genealogy Workshop

From Emigrant to Immigrant: The Irish Migration to North America

Level I/II: Beginner to Intermediate

This workshop provides participants with a historical perspective of the timing, conditions and reasons so many Irish elected to leave their native land. Each period of mass migration will be reviewed, along with the identification of available records, where to find them and how to interpret them. An actual case study will be reviewed during the workshop.
