The Society of Genealogists (SoG) in London is hosting some Irish-themed online lectures in the next couple of months. Anyone can attend, but you have to book in advance. Irish workshops at the SoG are always over-subscribed, and the one-hour online talks are proving no different, even though the numbers who can 'attend' are several times higher than when physical attendance is required.
So the message is: if you want to book your place for one of these online talks, do so immediately. You probably won't be able to get a space if you leave it to later.
Saturday 4 July: Using Free Websites to Research your Irish Ancestry, with tutors Rosalind McCutcheon FIGRS and Jill Williams FIGRS. 11am to noon. Fully booked.
Saturday 4 July: Finding Irish Probate Records - Online, in Record Offices and at the SoG Library, with Else Churchill. 4pm to 5pm. £10. A few places still available as of this morning.
Thursday 9 July: Using Free Websites to Research your Irish Ancestry, with tutors Rosalind McCutcheon FIGRS and Jill Williams FIGRS. 4pm to 5pm. £10. A few places still available as of this morning.
Saturday 8 August: 1169 and all That: Ireland's Tumultuous History, with tutors Rosalind McCutcheon FIGRS and Jill Williams FIGRS. 4pm to 5pm. £10. More than 70 spaces still available.
Thursday 13 August: 1169 and all That: Ireland's Tumultuous History, with tutors Rosalind McCutcheon FIGRS and Jill Williams FIGRS. 2pm to 3pm. £10. More than 70 spaces still available.
Talks take place on Zoom, which is free and easy to use. See each talk's details for information.
The SoG advises that events at the Library are likely to resume in due course, but online talks are expected to continue to be offered even after the premises reopen.
