ATTENTION
SERIOUS RESEARCHERS! |
|
Celtic Quest, LLC, has organized a unique research
opportunity for the serious and experienced researcher. It is best if you
know at least the county of origin of your ancestor. You determine which
research facilities you want to use. Before you take off for Ireland, your
trip director will review up to two of your research goals. Suggestions for
additional research may be provided to make your valuable research time in
Ire- land more productive. |
|
Arrive in Dublin on Saturday, 9 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, the trip 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. |
|
A research reference book list will be sent in your
registration packet. Please take the time to prepare research objectives for
review by the trip director. Previous experience has shown 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 single 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 charges. |
|
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 from the airport to the hotel and back. |
|
Buswell’s Hotel
The trip hotel, Buswell’s, on Molesworth Street in Dublin, is directly
across the street from the National Library in the quiet business section of
Dublin.
