More details on Cork genealogy weekend

I blogged two weeks ago that University College Cork's Adult Continuing Education department was planning a genealogy education holiday in Cork called Ancestral Connections: Names, Places and Spaces at the start of July (see http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/genealogy-educational-holiday-in-cork.html). The university has now come back with more details on the programme and costs:

Ancestral Connections: Names, Places and Spaces

Irish Genealogy Summer School, University College Cork, June 30-July 6, 2013

This genealogy summer school offers a complete course in the latest Irish genealogy research, as one would expect from a summer school held in UCC, one of the world’s leading universities. All aspects of the subject are covered by a series of presentations and ‘hands on’ workshops given by a selection of Ireland’s leading genealogical lecturers and experts. The latest online and offline sources are described and explained in presentations which will be of great interest to the seeker of Irish roots and family history, whether beginner or expert.

Thankfully, it is not all work. A number of trips are offered featuring sites and locations including Fota House, the Queenstown Experience in Cobh, and Spectacular Killarney with its beautiful mountains and lakes. Not forgetting, optional evening tours to sites of interest in Cork itself, ‘the Venice of Ireland’, Blarney Castle and the beautiful harbour town of Kinsale.

The Summer School Ancestral Connections will be completed by a one-day conference with a range of topics offered by expert speakers.
