Irish Ancestors Includes free introductory guide to tracing your Irish ancestors 1 Discover your IRISH and SCOTS-IRISH ancestors with the Ulster Historical Foundation The Ulster-American Folk Park, Omagh, County Tyrone 2 I n ounded in 1956, the Ulster Historical Foundation is a t Flong-established, highly reputable research and r o publishing agency.

Our aim d is to encourage an interest in the history of the province of Ulster; a promote a positive image of Northern Ireland overseas; strengthen t the links between Ireland and those of Ulster descent; broaden i access to historical documents and records for Irish and Scots-Irish o genealogy; and to inspire pride in Irish and Ulster heritage and n culture. 3 Research Officer, Gillian Hunt, Memphis TN, March 2014 Over these years the Ulster Historical Foundation has developed into one of the principal genealogical research agencies in Ireland and a leading publisher of quality historical, educational and genealogical books. It also operates a membership association called the Ulster Historical and Genealogical Guild, the aim of which is to bring together people from all over the world in their quest to discover Irish and Scots-Irish ancestors. The Foundation is one of the few organisations that is actively engaging with family historians in Ireland and North America. Each year we organise a North American lecture tour while members of staff speak at other genealogy events in the United States and Canada. Through our family history conferences we bring genealogists to the archives in Belfast and Dublin and provide hands-on assistance with research. Ulster Historical Foundation is entirely self-funded. We depend on the support of our customers and members to continue to provide the range of services that we currently offer. The Foundation's first publication: R.J.

  • 1.1 Employment Sectors
    1.1 EMPLOYMENT SECTORS To realise the economic potential of the Gateway and identified strategic employment centres, the RPGs indicates that sectoral strengths need be developed and promoted. In this regard, a number of thematic development areas have been identified, the core of which are pivoted around the main growth settlements. Food, Tourism, Services, Manufacturing and Agriculture appear as the primary sectors being proffered for Meath noting that Life Sciences, ICT and Services are proffered along the M4 corridor to the south and Aviation and Logistics to the M1 Corridor to the east. However, Ireland’s top 2 exports in 2010, medical and pharmaceutical products and organic chemicals, accounted for 59% of merchandise exports by commodity group. It is considered, for example, that Navan should be promoted for medical products noting the success of Welch Allyn in particular. An analysis has been carried out by the Planning Department which examined the individual employment sectors which are presently in the county and identified certain sectoral convergences (Appendix A). This basis of this analysis was the 2011 commercial rates levied against individual premises (top 120 rated commercial premises). The analysis excluded hotels, retail, public utilities public administration (Meath County Council, OPW Trim and other decentralized Government Departments) along with the HSE NE, which includes Navan Hospital. The findings of this analysis were as follows: • Financial Services – Navan & Drogheda (essentially IDA Business Parks & Southgate Centre). • Industrial Offices / Call Centres / Headquarters – Navan, Bracetown (Clonee) & Duleek. • Food and Meath Processing – Navan, Clonee and various rural locations throughout county. • Manufacturing – Oldcastle and Kells would have a particular concentrations noting that a number of those with addresses in Oldcastle are in the surrounding rural area.

  • 1 De Bello Becco
    De Bello Becco: a French foundation in the Boyne Valley Geraldine Stout Introduction This paper discusses the history of the little known French Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco near Drogheda, and the role it played in the commercial development of the Boyne valley and in the international maritime trade during the medieval period. The paper also presents the results of a recent geophysical survey and sets out a course for future investigation of the site. Historical background The Cistercian foundation of de Bello Becco, also known as Beaubec, a daughter house of the convent of de Bello Becco in Normandy, France, was located in the townland of Bey More, Co. Meath (fig. 1, ITM 709546 772877) (St. John Brooks, 1953, 148; McCullen, 2011, 383). There is no known foundation date for this monastic site but a grant by Walter De Lacy to the church of SS Mary and Laurence of Beaubec and the monks residing there on the lands in Gillekeran has been dated to after 1215 (Dryburgh and Smith, 2006, 23). This includes a further grant of a burgage in Mornington (villa Marenari) along with the liberty of a boat for their own use, free from tolls, customs and demands and freedom to access Walter De Lacy’s lands to buy and sell merchandise. The placename Gillekeran suggests that this Cistercian foundation was on an earlier ecclesiastical site possibly associated with St Ciaran (www.monasticon.celt.dias.ie). The 1215 grant is alluded to in a confirmation grant by Henry III in 1235 (Sweetman, 1875, 341). Walter De Lacy bestowed this relatively small grant of land on the Cistercians for the good of his soul, and those of their relatives and ancestors.

  • Dundalk's Integrated Development Strategy – Ireland Dundalk's
    Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland Dundalk's integrated development strategy – Ireland 1 (by Declan Murphy, Ireland) Description of the approach (aims, delivery, budget etc) Dundalk is on the east coast of Ireland, midway between the two main urban centres on the island, 80 Kms from Belfast in Northern Ireland (UK) and from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. It is the local government centre for County Louth, a county with mixed agriculture, industry and tourism as main economic activities. The town population has grown from 25,000 in the 1970s to 32,000 in 2005 and is projected to double to 60,000 people by 2020. Historically Dundalk had a strong commercial base with industry in footwear (6,000 employed in the 1960s), textiles, cigarettes, brewing, and engineering. The demise of traditional industries and Dundalk’s geographic location on the border (its natural hinterland to the north is in the UK) have posed development challenges. This was exacerbated by poor infrastructure. Dundalk today is designated as a ‘gateway’ for development under the “National Spatial Strategy for Ireland 2002 – 2020, People, Places and Potential”, which emphasises devolved development. Each county has been encouraged to develop a 10 year vision based on wide consultation, research and visioning. In addition Dundalk has undertaken its own assessment of Dundalk as a place to invest, live, work and visit as the basis for developing an economic development plan up to 2010. National policy in the promotion of entrepreneurship and SMEs is the responsibility of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in Ireland. It delegates responsibility for implementing its policies to state agencies.
