Over the centuries, millions of people have left Ireland for a new life in another part of the world. With a
particular focus on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this illustrated presentation explores how we
can find out more about our emigrant ancestors from Irish records. The talk will highlight the potential value of church records, census returns, landed estate papers, testamentary papers, workhouse records,
gravestone inscriptions, newspapers and Valuation records, to name a few, in helping us to understand
when, where, why and how our ancestors left these shores.
Presented by Dr William Roulston, Research Director of the Ulster Historical Foundation, this lecture is free
to attend but registration is advised to secure your place.
The talk will be also be recorded for those of you unable to join live.
