Scots / Irish Genealogy Workshop

Join our experts for a genealogy workshop to help you uncover the stories behind your Irish/ Scots/Irish family name and crest. We tailor the workshop to your name or the names in each group to ensure each person gets the most out of the experience.

The session begins with a homely welcome form Danny McKinley, whose family run the centre before enjoying tea, coffee and some homemade scones made by Danny’s wife Mary.

Its then over to our experts to take you through the basic meanings of Irish names and crests before introducing each person to their crest and some information about their family name. Find out the Irish meaning of your name, where your name derives from and uncover the secrets behind the symbols in your family crest.
