Back To Our Past, Belfast: lectures, free tickets and more

Back To Our Past, the largest family history fair in the island of Ireland and host to the Genetic Genealogy Ireland conference, will be opening its doors to researchers of all experience levels in Belfast in just over three weeks time.

This year's Northern Ireland show will be held at the ICC Waterfront Convention Centre in the city's Titanic Quarter on Friday 15 February and Saturday 16 February from 10am to 5pm. Free tickets are available, but you need to order them by email in advance.

Two strands of lectures – all free – offer visitors a wide range of topics suitable for beginners, intermediates and advanced researchers in both traditional family history and genetic genealogy. The lecture schedules are now available on the organiser's website, as are details of how to obtain the free tickets, at BackToOurPast.ie.

In addition to the lectures, visitors can visit a number of exhibitors, enjoy free advice and guidance from experienced genealogists and find out about various products, magazines, projects, archives and local societies and groups of interest to local and family historians.
