ATTENTION |
|
Celtic Quest, LLC, has organized a unique research opportunity for serious and experienced researchers. It is best if you have at least identified the county of origin of your ancestor. You determine which research facilities you want to use. Before you take off for Ire- land, your trip director will review and assess up to two of your research goals to help make your valuable re- search time in Ireland more productive. |
|
Arrive in Dublin on Saturday, 15 October and get your rest, because on Sunday you hit the ground running. Professionals familiar with Dublin facilities will start the week with introductions to the major research repositories. Monday morning, the National Archives staff will instruct researchers on the use of the facility. From there, you choose which facility fits your needs. Throughout the week, your trip director will be onsite to assist you. At the end of the research week, you’ll be treated to a relaxing banquet at Buswell’s Hotel. |
|
You may move freely between research sites as your discoveries take you to new records. On some evenings, consult with your trip director to discuss and reevaluate your research objectives. |
|
Please take the time to prepare research objectives for review and assessment by the trip director. Previous experience shows that those who take advantage of this opportunity have the most research success. |
|
We will assist you if you’d like to share a room with another researcher. Prices are per-person, double occupancy. Limited single rooms are available for a higher fee; once those rooms are assigned, those wanting a single room will be put in the larger double rooms, but at a higher cost. Non-researching companions are welcome; see the registration form for fees. |
|
Participants should expect to walk between repositories and the hotel (1–8 blocks), so bring comfortable walking shoes and rain gear. If you prefer, taxis are available for hire. |
|
Participants need to arrange transportation to and from Dublin, and between the airport and the hotel. |
