Family History isn’t just about the past: learning about our origins allows people to get down to the granular details of our ancestors’ lives. It enables people to construct their own family narrative and personal identity.
This module is taught through a series of eight lectures by Fiona Fitzsimons and Brian Donovan of the Irish Family History Centre (Eneclann). The course covers a broad sweep of Irish history (1650s-1950s), and is deeply rooted the records generated by churches, central and local government, enterprises, families and individuals. You will explore what section of the Irish population is documented in these records, and how to interpret the evidence.
The course provides free access to the largest Irish online collection of family information, www.findmypast.ie
You will also gain free access to EPIC and the Irish Family History Centre in Custom House Quay. It will also provide support for all participants to construct a simple family history portfolio over sixteen weeks, including creating a family profile; collecting documentary evidence; building a family tree; and writing a simple report.
