Raising Standards in Irish family history through Continuous Professional Development

Family History is very much a "one-man-band", and opportunities for 
Continuous Professional Development are hard to come by.
With this in mind, Eneclann and Ancestor Network have partnered, to 
create a regular series of expert workshops on key topics.

The monthly workshops take place in Trinity College Dublin, and the 
National Library of Ireland.

These are *free events*, open to all family historians and independent 
scholars.
To ensure we can provide an appropriate workshop environment, numbers 
are limited, and these are ticketed events.
To apply email familyhistoryworkshop@eneclann.ie

To date, the following workshops have taken place:
April 2014, 

Fiona Fitzsimons, Eneclann: How to trace records of children 
raised in care from the 1840s to the 1990s.
