Fréamh Éireann meets monthly, except July and August, at 10:30 AM on the second Saturday of each month in the O’Keefe Room and/or via Zoom. We welcome all GAC members, particularly those who need help in their family search or those who don’t know where to start.
As a self-help group, our members support one another by sharing our own research experiences while providing suggestions and guidance. We also have a facebook page for timely updates.
We do not conduct research for others. Members are kept advised of genealogical seminars and events via meeting minutes and email notices. Periodically guest speakers are invited to address our meetings and field trips are arranged to points of genealogical interest.
