Family History Conferences 2016 – Discover your Irish roots with the Ulster Historical Foundation

19th April 2016 By fdmadmin

Tracing your Irish Ancestors Conferences with the Ulster Historical Foundation, Belfast

Places are filling up quickly for Ulster Historical Foundation’s Tracing your Irish Ancestors family history conferences in June and September 2016. In fact the June event will sell out soon (only 8 places are available). If you are interested in attending this programme we suggest you book now to avoid disappointment.

The Foundation’s genealogy conferences are aimed at both the dedicated family historian and those who may prefer to spend more time savouring the enchanting landscape and historic sites of their ancestors.

The programmes will comprise an engaging and entertaining mix of research in the archives with the help of the Foundation’s experienced genealogists, talks from acknowledged experts and a variety of tours and day trips, all making for a memorable experience.

Highlights include: visits to Titanic Belfast and the Giant’s Causeway, the National Archives in Dublin and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) in Belfast, the famous Walls of Derry and the hills of Donegal, dinner at Belfast’s historic Reform Club and afternoon tea at Barons Court, home of the Duke of Abercorn.

So if you are thinking of a research trip to Ireland, there is no better way to learn how to use the Irish archives than by booking a place at our Tracing Your Irish Ancestors conferences. You will be very welcome.

Testimonial from 2015 conference attendees:

Loved this conference last month and so glad I visited the Antrim coast. Wonderfully organized and  learned so much history. Highly recommend

Maureen Hanlon, California, USA

What a wonderful week this was, I cannot believe just how many places that we all visited together, thank you so much to everyone involved in all the hard work for giving us such a wonderful time, I also met up with many new friends.

Kay Howard, Essex, England

This conference was extraordinary. It was exceptionally well organized by the most accommodating and professional people – not to mention their wonderful sense of humour. Although I wasn’t able to learn any more about my own ancestors, I did learn a great deal and have new sources of information to explore. Then perhaps another visit to Belfast is in my future. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Jacque Leeper, Georgia, USA

If it is as wonderful and helpful as your September family history conference, everyone is in for a great time. Everything was great from our guides on the tours, to helpful staff at PRONI and the other places of records/deeds/archives … I now have an understanding of where to look, where to go, and best of all, I was travelling through the same countryside as my ancestors had lived. Met some interesting people in my co-attendees of the conference and some great staff from UHF. Thanks to all of them and wishing the new folks good success! Oh, and bring clothes a bit baggy because the food was wonderful!!!
