Surname heat maps leverage the idea that your Irish ancestors and their surnames were likely tied to specific parishes over several generations; creating heat maps for multiple surnames reveals where the family names were collocated in Ireland. All three of these techniques capitalize on the power of names in Irish family history. https://bit.ly/3DLECHl - Saturday, July 16 "An Overview of Irish History" 10:30 AM - Noon CDT (UTC-5) Instructor: Paul MacCotter $15 members $20 non-members An overview journey through Irish history.
