Raheny Heritage SocietyEstablished: 1987 The origin of the society goes back to 1984 when a series of lectures on tracing your family history was held in Raheny Library. Following these lectures, Ray Wickham, a dedicated amateur genealogist, started a small group which met regularly in the Library to further their interest in researching their own family history. Later it was decided to extend the activities of the group to include local history and in January 1987 the Raheny Heritage Society was officially launched with Ray as Chairman. Since Ray’s death in June 1996 the society holds an annual memorial lecture in his honour in Raheny Library. Meetings are held twice a month in Raheny Court, Avondale Park, Raheny at 8pm on second Wednesday for family history and the last Wednesday for local history. No meetings in July and August. New members are always welcome. Chairman:- Brian Wray |
