The Irish Genealogical Research Society (IGRS) celebrated its 80th anniversary at the place where it was founded back in 1936: the College of Arms in London.
The reception, held in the Old Court of Chivalry, was well-attended by Society's members and high-profile supporters, and by several dignitories including Dan Mulhall, the Irish Ambassador; Peter O'Donoghue, the York Herald; Patric Dickinson, Clarenceux King of Arms; and Timothy Duke, Norroy and Ulster King of Arms.
