The Irish Interest Group meets at the GFO Higgins Room, on the third Saturday in January, March, May, July, September and November. Meetings start at 1:00 P.M. and end at 3:00 P.M.

(Please refer to the GFO Calendar for current meeting information. The GFO Calendar can be found on the Genealogical Forum of Oregon home page at www.gfo.org/)

We help participants gain a greater knowledge of Ireland, its history and culture as well as how to find and use a variety of resources to assist in their Irish research.

Our programs are varied, with many of our members especially enjoying the opportunity to discuss their research challenges with others and getting suggestions from members of the group that may help them to find alternative areas to research.

Anyone with an interest in Irish research is welcome to join us.
