About this Event

California Genealogical Society 2025 All Ireland Genealogy Seminar with the Ulster Historical Foundation


We are happy to announce that the California Genealogical Society will host the first stop of the 2025 Ulster Historical Foundation US Tour. The stop covers two events on two different days at two different Oakland locations.

The Ulster Historical Foundation is a non-profit organization, founded in 1956, dedicated to helping individuals, groups, educators and global diasporas gain a deeper understanding of the rich history of Ulster and its families.

Ulster Historical Foundation has been bringing its historical research expertise and knowledge of Irish archives to North America since 1979, delivering Irish and Scots-Irish genealogy programs through its annual lecture tours. The programs are of value to researchers, no matter where your ancestors originate on the island of Ireland.


LECTURE DAY

Saturday, March 1, 2025, will be a full day of in-person lectures at near Martin Luther King and 12th Street, Oakland, a short walk from the 12th Street BART station and there is parking for $25 daily fee across the street with a security guard. A box lunch can be ordered separately. Register from this page.

The sessions help the beginner and the seasoned genealogist alike: from the basics (for those new to Irish genealogy) to guidance and research tips on utilizing obscure and unusual archival sources for 17th- and 18th century research.

Topics for 2025:

  • Introduction to Irish and Scots-Irish Family History Research
  • Getting the most out of Griffith’s Valuation
  • Using printed sources for Irish family history: Directories, newspapers and more
  • Using the Registry of Deeds: an important source for 18th century research
  • The Irish Poor Law and local government records including workhouse registers
  • Solving Your Brick Walls – interactive session for questions you may still have

Pricing:

Early bird pricing until January 15: $100 for members, $125 for non-members.

January 16 prices increase to: $120 for members and $145 for non-members

Optional box lunch available for $30. Other information about nearby cafes and takeout will also be provided.

The lecture tickets are capped at 100 participants, so register today.


CONSULTATION DAY

Friday, February 28, 2025, will be a day of 30 minute consultations with Fintan Mullan and Gillian Hunt from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the CGS Library, 2201 Broadway, Oakland.

Price for a 30-minute consultation is $50. More than one consultation may be booked back-to-back for a deeper exploration of your questions. There are spaces for 24 consultations, so register today to reserve your spot.
