Canadian Ambassador in Tipp today

Kevin Vickers will launch the Kilbarron Terryglass 1815 Project & Booklet in Coolbawn this afternoon…the project aims to connect the descendents of emigrants from the area to Canada with their relatives left in the area. 

The genealogy project, which has been up and running for some time….has identified relatives of emigrants from the Kilbarron/Terryglass/Finnoe area who immigrated to the Ottawa area of Canada in the nineteenth century.

The official launch of the booklet takes place at 12 noon today in Coolbawn Quays.
