Hi Folks,
As promised some weeks ago, here are the finalised details of the Peace =
and Reconciliation funded Francis Makemie Summer School being held in =
the Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny, on the weekend of 27th -29th April =
2007:
http://www.eastdonegalulsterscots.com/Ulster%20Scots%20DL.pdf
The programme is more or less as I outlined with the main seminars =
featuring a mixture of local history and genealogy. You can see that we =
have been extremely fortunate in securing every one of the speakers we =
chose in our initial line-up. I am really looking forward to hearing =
all of them but especially Donegal's Helen Meehan, author of the amazing =
book on Inver, renowned international historians, John McCavitt, the =
leading expert on the Flight of the Earls, Paddy Fitzgerald, from the =
Ulster American Folk Park and James McConnell from the University of =
Ulster, and Colin Brooks and William Roulston, both eminent and well =
respected genealogists from the United States and Northern Ireland =
respectively. The Ulster Scots Heritage Trail of East Donegal on the =
Sunday is also garnering much interest with ticket sales outstripping =
everything else!
And I think it has been seriously underpriced when you consider that the =
dinner in the hotel on Saturday night, with music by the best Bluegrass =
band in Ulster, is free if you pay for the four seminars on the Saturday =
- just twenty pounds or thirty euro!
Hope to meet lots of you there and at last be able to put a face to a =
name.
Regards,
Boyd
