It's very interesting hearing all the places i knew so well having been born and bred in Lisburn in 1970 and in the same talk hearing the names of places i have lived beside for the last 5yrs in Co.Kerry. Really good history lesson and much enjoyed

I just discovered that my ancestors the Laverty family were amongst the claimants for compensation whilst researching my ancestry with DNA, thanks to the conservation and research here.
