Family Tree Workshop & Upcoming Lecture

You are cordially invited to a beginners’ workshop on tracing your family tree to take place on

in the Glenmore Community Hall.

This workshop is to mark our founder Danny Dowling’s 99th birthday. All you need to bring is a pencil. Printed blank family trees, family worksheets and a resource sheet will be provided as well as tea and birthday cake.

Any one with knowledge of local families as well as anyone who has experience doing family research is invited to attend to help the beginners get started.

Glenmore Golden Heritage Signs

Kilkenny Archaeology Society’s 2026 Lecture

On Wednesday the 18th of March 2026, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. a lecture will be held in Rothe House in Kilkenny City. The lecture is on the archaeology & landscape in Kilkenny. What may interest readers is that the recent archaeological investigations on the New Ross by-pass will be covered. It is my understanding that such a discovery was unearthed near the Glenmore roundabout. The cost of the lecture is €10.
