Image: Paul McGuickan http://donegalpublicart.ie/dpa_fid.html Killydonnell Friary Ramelton 1 Image: Claire Curran One Donegal Many Pasts, One Future! As custodians of the collective memory of the county, genealogy or family history resources are important library services. Genealogy plays an important role in how we view ourselves, our history and the connections we have around the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors they are able to make connections to history. This booklet provides a brief introduction to the family history records available within the Library, Archives and Museum Services of Donegal County Council. It will also guide those interested in tracing their family tree to other online resources and give the contact details of other agencies that can help in their research. This booklet has been funded by Donegal County Council’s Hands of History – One Donegal, Many Pasts, One Future project. Hands of History is supported by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, led by Donegal County Council under the auspices of the Donegal County Development Board’s Peace and Reconciliation Partnership. Hands of History aims to develop an understanding of how key events in our history were experienced by different communities within the county and how these historical legacies have contributed to relationships today. August 2013. 2 Our Resources Central Library, Letterkenny, located on Oliver Plunkett Road, has an extensive collection of books, journals and other material on genealogy and family history.
