Join us for a meeting of Tyngsborough Public Library's Genealogy Club, where genealogist Tom Toohey will discuss "Irish Genealogy 101." 

Irish Genealogy 101 is a presentation for beginning and intermediate Irish genealogy researchers. This program offers a step-by-step method for finding the home places of Irish ancestors. It shows techniques that are quick, cheap and easy -- research that anyone can do in their PJs in their kitchen. This lecture contains music, animation and video and is designed to be entertaining as well as informative.
