A-Z Challenge: I is for…

Over the course of April we are exploring the studies registered with the Society for One-Place Studies featuring those that correspond to the relevant letter of the alphabet.

What is a One Place Study? That is a fine question and rather than me explain, I will refer you to the Society’s informative website. If you are interested in joining us and /or registering a study we of course welcome you. You can find the joining information HERE.

I is for...

Ireland: Researching in Ireland can be problematic, therefore I was delighted when my good friend from down under registered her Broadford and East Clare Study with the Society for One-Place Studies. As one might expect, migration is a problematic task when looking at Irish one-place studies and in particular, the post 1840 time frame. Located in the Republic of Ireland, the study currently focuses on the migration from this region to Australia. The study has its own website. If your ancestors came from this region please do drop Pauleen an email.
