May 2011 Edition

Greetings!  

 

Festival Season is almost upon us! All summer long you'll find festivals and events all over Western New York and beyond. In the meantime as we wait for warm days and cool activities, consider exploring new ways to celebrate Celtic heritage. Take a step dancing class, listen to some new Celtic music or try baking a recipe (you'll find great ones in our "Discovering Celtic Cuisine" Cookbook). If you're really ready for a great new hobby or adventure, look no further than your own heritage with a research into your family tree. Whatever you do, make sure to have fun!

Finding your ancestors
genealogyA major area of interest from our festival guests is genealogy. Learning about your family is an amazing journey, but not always an easy one. The internet has numerous ways to begin or continue finding members on your family tree. But don't forget about live help from your local genealogical society! In Western New York, two wonderful groups with resources and information are the Niagara County Genealogical Society and the Buffalo Irish Genealogical Society.
