Upcoming Programs

7 p.m., Shorewood Public Library
Migration Patterns of the Irish
Most genealogists want to know the route their ancestors followed as they left their homeland and traveled to and through the United States. They want to discover the possible records that their ancestors created along the way and perhaps to visit some of the places at which they paused as they traveled. Pat Geyh will discuss with us the paths of the Irish (and other Europeans as well) from their homeland and into and through North America. Come join us as we re-create their journey in our imaginations.

7 p.m., Irish Cultural & Heritage Center
A Night of the Round Table
The Night of the Roundtables is your chance to share your genealogy quest with other IGSW members. Our roundtables - small group discussions - let you get and give advice, share your successes, collaborate with others, and use the resources of the Irish Emigration Library. Today is the release of the 1940 census, so this will be among the topics of discussion. We will also have a table led by Dick Ammann to share online sites for Irish / Celtic genealogy.
Questions? Ideas? Please email Corresponding Secretary Sue Dolinar.
IGSW programs are free and open to the public, and are held eleven times per year, usually on the first Monday of each month except December.
