  The cause of death was … (Part 2)

  Join Patrice Connelly for another webinar, this time looking at death caused by accident and the dangers of various occupations. Did your ancestor die from Chimney Sweeps' cancer, Phossy jaw, Mad Hatter's disease or Cordwainer's limp? Were they poisoned or effectively suffocated by their job? Patrice will cover a variety of occupational hazards which have caused death and disease through the ages.

  This is a members only event that will take place via Zoom.
  

  Bookings are essential for this session.

  Family History Connect | The Irish Archaeological Societies

  Our 'members-only' series, Family History Connect, feature themed sessions focusing on particular areas of genealogical research.

  The Irish Archaeological Societies

  There are many genealogical resources in several series of journals published in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries in Ireland. Many of these are available on Internet Archive and copies are also in the SAG Library. Patrice Connelly will be your tour guide around Ireland as she visits societies in Kildare, Louth, Waterford and elsewhere to show you not only the genealogies, but also how the various types of histories – social, antiquarian, topographical and others – can enliven your genealogy research. There are a number of similar society journals published in Britain as well, so you can use the same techniques to visit those.

  This is a members only event that will take place via Zoom.
  

  Bookings are essential for this session.
