Townlands Workshop

March 12, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We will have a workshop on Tuesday next, 12 March at 8pm in the Old Girls’ School, Corrandulla, aimed at furthering our project on researching townlands in the parish. Pages have been drafted for Coteenty (see https://annaghdownheritage.ie/coteenty) and Muckrush (see https://annaghdownheritage.ie/muckrush), and we hope this workshop will lead to development of similar pages for other townlands in the project.

All are welcome to attend – attendees are asked to bring along a laptop if possible.
