The society meets in the historic seaside town of Dún Laoghaire, just south of Dublin city
THE SOCIETY SCENE
If you go down to Hardy’s Bar in Dún Laoghaire at 10.30am on the fourth Wednesday of a month (except December) you are likely to encounter a group of guys and gals from the Genealogical Society of Ireland (GSI) sipping coffee and discussing DNA profiles, cemetery records or censuses. Dún Laoghaire (which is pronounced ‘Dune Leereh’, having been called Kingstown until 1922) is an historic seaside suburb six miles south of Dublin. The society’s coffee meeting is open to all – just pay for the coffee.
Just down the road on the second Wednesday of each month, you can attend the open monthly lecture of the society by paying a nominal €3. The lecture is videoed and appears on YouTube within a couple of days.
