BIFHSGO is honoured to present the inaugural event celebrating the Irish Genealogical Research Society‘s 90th anniversary.
The lecture, titled “Focusing on the Migrants: How Genealogy Has Transformed Our Understanding of the Irish in Canada,” will be presented on Saturday, 28 March in person at Knox Presbyterian Church in Ottawa. It’s also online for those elsewhere.
David A. Wilson, Professor of History and Celtic Studies at the University of Toronto and General Editor of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, will discuss how genealogical research has played a key role in opening new perspectives on the Irish in Canada. After a general overview of Irish-Canadian history, he will present three case studies that highlight the contributions of genealogy to historical research.
