Free genealogy advisory service in the National Library
of Ireland, Summer 2014.
Eneclann &
Ancestor Network make it a hat trick!
The joint
consortium of Eneclann and Ancestor Network are delighted to announce that they
have been selected by the National Library of Ireland to enhance its provision
of Summer genealogy services, following a competitive tendering process.
Speaking on behalf of the National Library of Ireland,
Honora Faul said today:
“We’re delighted to welcome back Eneclann & Ancestor
Network, to support and enhance our Summer genealogy service. It’s an invaluable service for anyone tracing
their family history.”
Fiona Fitzsimons, Eneclann:
“We’re very happy to have been chosen to provide the genealogy advisory
service again this summer. We look
forward to working alongside Francis O’Carroll and Christina McDonnell, our
professional colleagues from the Library.
In the Summers of 2012 and 2013
we saw a significant rise in the numbers that availed of the genealogy
service. We hope to welcome a record
number of visitors to the Library this summer.”
Hilary Mc Donagh of Ancestor Network:
“We are delighted to be part of this wonderful
role for a third year running. It’s a
privilege for us to assist visitors to the Library and to help them trace their
family history. Being part of the
Library’s genealogy service allows us to share our expertise, but it means we
come face to face with the ordinary Joe or Josephine, and learn what they
are most interested in. We love to team
up with our friends in Eneclann: both organisations can work together to help
the public with all their research needs”
Summer hours for the genealogy advisory service in the
National Library of Ireland commences Tuesday 2nd June 2014.
The service is free to all visitors to the Library.
9.30 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. Monday to Friday,
9.30 a.m. to 12.45 on Saturday.
