Heritage History Kilcrohane Walks What's On

Sheep's Head Way

Anyone with family ties with the Sheep’s Head peninsula won’t want to miss a weekend dedicated to exploring local genealogy!

All are welcome to the event – attendees will meet in the dining room of the Bayview Inn in Kilcrohane on the afternoon of Saturday, 22nd June.

There will be a short talk by Danny Tobin, who will chair the event, and a talk by Dr Dorothy Sweeney, followed by a general and open discussion with members working together and helping each other to make connections in their family trees.

Danny will use a DNA-matching tool to show who is connected to who via DNA (this is only of use to those who have already done DNA tests and have their results uploaded to the gedmatch website).

A number of speakers will be involved over the weekend, and a walk is planned for the Sunday afternoon, which will take in some interesting heritage sites around the peninsula.
