Irish Family History SocietyVisit Irish Family History Society Website Established: 1984 The Irish Family History Society has a worldwide membership of which two thirds are overseas. The Society publishes a journal and a Members’ Interest Directory annually. In addition a News Sheet is issued each Spring and Autumn containing up to date Society information, members’ queries and details of future activities. All are available free to members as part of their membership. The IFHS arranges a number of lectures and seminars throughout the year which are held at The Dublin City Library & Archive, 138/144 Pearse St., Dublin 2. The Annual General Meeting is held each April followed by 2 guest speakers. A full day seminar is held in early October and a morning session in November. Our various guest speakers cover a wide range of topics and are always popular. All meetings apart from the AGM are open to non-members who are always welcome. There is no admittance charge and no booking is required. In addition we have a number of outings during the summer. One of our objectives is to help members to do their own research through information and advice as we do not have the human resources to undertake in depth research for individuals. New members receive a “Welcome Pack” upon joining which includes copies of the previous year’s News Sheets and Members’ Interest List. As well as its annual Journal the Society has also published Table of Church of Ireland Parochial Records and Directory of Parish Registers Indexed in Ireland 4th Ed. PO Box 36 |
