Genealogical Workshops:
Dr. Bruce Grube, President of Georgia Southern University will officially
inaugurate two days of informative seminars. Wed. the 26th will be
Ireland Day and Thu. the 27th will be Scotland Day. A flat fee of $15 or
$10 for students will secure your admission to the entire two-day
event! Mail a check to Janice Strickland Genealogical Librarian Statesboro

Dr. William Roulstan brings extraordinary practical expertise to the
workshop. He has recently written a book "Searching
Scots Irish Ancestors", 2005 that answers the longtime need for reliable,
detailed guidance on finding and using genealogical sources for ulster in
the 17th and 17th centuries: A period of high Ulster-Scots Emigration to
North America.
Mr. Fintan Mullan, Executive Director of the Foundation, hold degrees from
Queen's University, Belfast. Like many of us, he finds Irish soldiers in
American Wars endlessly compelling.
Catholic Irish and Ulster Scots often crossed paths in the American South
participant in Ireland Day are strongly encouraged to learn about resources
and methods for researching both heritages. Sessions on each group will be
given on Ireland Day.
Ms. Beth Gay will be with us in the morning session and I am sure many of
you are very familiar with her, as her many awards and honors testify to
the sterling contributions she has made to Scottish Genealogical research
and the preservation and promotion of Scottish and Scottish-American culture.
On Ireland Day and Scotland Day, bring artifacts and questions you'd like
the experts to discuss.
