A family history conference with a difference

Over six days you will discover the history of Ulster first-hand through excursions to some of the province’s most historic sites, be assisted to carry out research for yourself, and listen to talks by acknowledged experts in their field.

If you are interested in finding out more about your Irish Presbyterian ancestors (or your Irish ancestors of any faith) or wish to explore the history of Presbyterianism in the province of Ulster this is the perfect opportunity in which to do so.
