CLARE ROOTS SOCIETY MEETING IN SEPTEMBER

TRACING YOUR ANCESTORS

Clare Roots Society Meeting: 

Thur. 21st September, 8 pm 

'Old Ground Hotel'

BEGINNING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY

The desire to delve into the History of your family can be triggered by various events, a marriage and the joining of 2 families, a new baby bringing a new generation and new grandparents, retirement and the need to fill your leisure time or the more challenging discoveries. Whatever triggered an interest in the subject, it is always wise to start with the known facts and verify these by obtaining the proof in the civil or Church records. 

Everyone starting their family history these days instantly turns to the internet, it is essential however, that a new researcher knows where to look.

Maybe you have encountered a barrier in your genealogy research, and you need help to find a 'Brick Wall' solution. 

When you have exhausted all other possibilities, why not come along to the Old Ground Hotel at 8 pm Thursday  21st September and get help and Guidance from experienced members of Clare Root Society,

The State Inebriate Reformatory: How Ennis became the centre of the war on criminal drunkenness in the early twentieth-century Ireland

The Irish State Inebriate Reformatory was opened at Ennis local prison in county Clare in 1900 for the punishment and reform of habitual criminal drunkards. The reformatory came about as a result of the Inebriates Act 1898 and during a period when British penal administrators were becoming more open to experimentation. The reformatory at Ennis was one of four such institutions that opened in Ireland between 1900 and 1910, the other three being operated by clerical orders, local authorities and philanthropists.

Dr. Conor Reidy is the author of two monographs on penal reform in early twentieth-century Ireland. Ireland’s ‘moral hospital’: the Irish borstal system 1906-1956 was published by Irish Academic Press in 2009 and Criminal Irish Drunkards: the inebriate reformatory system 1900-1918 was published by The History Press Ireland 2014. For eight years he lectured in local and family history at the University of Limerick. In 2015 he joined the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland as a Historical Researcher.
