Marking Founder’s Birthday: Tracing Your Family Tree Workshop

In 2018, our founder Danny Dowling (1927-2021) began glenmore-history.com to make the historical information he recorded for over 70 years available freely to everyone everywhere.

To mark Danny’s 99th birthday we, along with Glenmore Tidy Towns, are on Sunday afternoon the 15 February 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. holding a free workshop for anyone interested in tracing their ancestors (even if the ancestors are not from Glenmore). This workshop will be suitable for beginners. All you need to bring with you is a pencil. We will provide a tree and resources to help get you started.

We are also seeking volunteers with experience in genealogy or knowledge of local families/townlands, to help some of the beginners. If you have any experience or knowledge, and would like to volunteer please contact me at glenmore.history@gmail.com .
