Ireland Reaching Out have been sending some interesting emails and I thought it would be worthwhile looking at some of them as a group. https://www.irelandxo.com/ some examples: Irish Parishes Explained; A Question of DNA; Ancestors Masterclass. Also at some stage I would like to talk about Social media groups. There are hundreds of Irish genealogical based groups on Facebook for example and many are very active and helpful.
