Anyone with an interest in Irish genealogy is welcome to join us.  All meetings are free and open to the public.

Focus: Although the entire island of Ireland is included, our primary focus tends to be the genealogical research of the Republic of Ireland, also known as the Irish Free State, Éire, Ireland, and Southern Ireland.
