Irish Revolution History- Dr. Myles Dungan

This four part series will take place every Monday starting October 14 and ending November 4th! Dr. Myles Dungan (PhD Trinity College, Dublin, 2012) will be leading the conversation.

For three years (1919-1922), Irish radical nationalists took on the military might of the British Empire in an uneven struggle. This short course examines how they fought their colonizers to a standstill, and achieved independence.

November 4 Topic: What did you do in the War of Independence, Grandad?

How to use online resources (Irish census returns, the Bureau of Military History, the Military Services Pensions Collection, Newspapers) to trace the activities of your ancestors during the Irish revolutionary period.
