PUBLIC TALK IN WATERFORD

Based on Atlas of the Great Irish Famine

 

Did your ancestors in the Waterford area survive or perish in the Famine?

Did they emigrate? Do you know anything about them? Is there a famine grave, a ‘hungry hill’ or a former workhouse near where you live?

 

Cork University Press and UCC Geography Department, in association with Mercy Secondary School and the Waterford Book Centre, will host a special talk on Thursday 11 April on the topic of the Great Irish Famine and its effects on the local community around Waterford.

 

The talk will be given by Mr Gearóid McCarthy of University College Cork’s Geography Department, and is part of a special series of talks organized by University College Cork to mark the publication of the award-winning and critically acclaimed Atlas of the Great Irish Famine.
