If you have found a bit of time to do those things you always meant to but never did, now is the time to get working on your Family Tree.  If you are completely new to Genalogy & Local History you may like to have a look at our introductory video guides which were put together by Library staff.  They will give you an overview of how to access and use the various online resources and should help you get started on your journey.  If you need extra help or guidance please contact our Local History Librarian, Catriona Lennon @ 047 74713  (Office Hours) or email clennon@monaghancoco.ie
