TIARA (The Irish Ancestral Research Association) is a non-profit organization established to develop and promote the growth, study and exchange of ideas among people and organizations interested in Irish genealogical and historical research and education. Our monthly meetings educate and entertain our members, as well as foster interaction with other Irish researchers. We do NOT provide individual genealogical research services.

  Next meeting: Friday, Feb 10, 7pm at BC - Michael Brophy on the 1940 census

Have you found a Forester ancestor? UMass Boston would like to record you giving a brief description of your find!

Joanne Riley and a team from UMass will be at Boston College at 6:00pm on Feb. 10th - just before our TIARA meeting. You are invited to bring a photo of your ancestor or an interesting section of your ancestor's Mortuary Record. Joanne will scan your photo or section of your Foresters application and record a 2-3 minute video with you describing your ancestor and your Foresters find. These videos will be shown at the March 14 "Calling the Heart Back Home" event at UMass Boston. Parts of your ancestor's record could also appear in an exhibit. Please get in touch with Susan Steele ForestersProject@tiara.ie to schedule your video appointment on Feb. 10th.



February Newsletter Deadline

The theme for the next issue of the TIARA newsletter is the surname database. Send in a story about a connection you made! Deadline is February 20. Contact Mary Choppa if you have questions or suggestions.



Call For Volunteers

TIARA is looking for a few volunteers for some interesting tasks.

1. Volunteers are wanted to form a library committee, and work with Mary Rita Grady in the TIARA Library. Committee members would assist in determining circulation and open house policies.

2. A volunteer is needed to be responsible for the book sales and purchasing. Books are sold at meetings, conferences, workshops, festivals, etc. Bob Burke has done a fine job in this volunteer position for many years.

Here is your chance to get involved and contribute to TIARA! Contact TIARA president Mary Choppa to volunteer or get more information.
