The Society's Annual Ray Wickham Talk will take place in Raheny Library at 6.30 on Thursday 22nd June 2023.  Ray Wickham founded Raheny Heritage Society and each year we remember him, with a talk on family history research.
This year's speaker is Mr. Tom Broderick, of Ordnance Survey Ireland.  Tom will explain the value of the Ordnance Survey Ireland's resources for anyone researching their family history.
His talk will go through the history of Ordnance Survey from its inception to the present day.  He will explain why Ireland was originally surveyed, how they did it, the benefit and use of mapping past and present in genealogy and modern day planning.
