I wonder how many of you have been with me for all these years, covering over one thousand posts and now, well over 500,000 views, which was reached on September 12, 2017.. In fact at time of writing this is now 506, 151..an extra 6,000+  in just on three weeks.

My aim for this blog has been to cover all things Irish, including the news from Clare Roots Society, which I've been part of since it's inception.

This blog consists of 12 pages.. have you explored all of them? 

There are literally thousands of transcribed BDMs, many generously donated by volunteers.. the same of newspaper clippings, covering BDMs as well as snippets of interest, including a laugh or two... once again, many of these have been donated by generous volunteers... You'll find Obituaries, Biographies, news about gatherings, reunions, meetings.. You can find great stories from the inane to the inspirational...

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,   

HALF A MILLION...and counting...!

I'M UP IN THE AIR TODAY..

 Thank you for helping me to reach 

500,000 views...

Thank you also to all who have contributed their time and effort by sharing transcriptions, 

articles, photos, clipping, etc.

 and sharing links among their friends and communities...

 AS THEY WERE

aims to bring you all that is Irish to help you in your research

as well as of general interest.
