January-February 2023. Zoom online course: Researching Lurgan and Armagh Ancestors Around the World
The course was facilitated by genealogy experts Gillian Hunt and Fintan Mullan of the Ulster Historical Foundation, who over 5 weeks were joined by a series of international guest speakers, who delivered a series of high quality, informative and enjoyable talks providing an insight into the sources available to research ancestors who emigrated to Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia.
