Yes, we have another new category: Heritage Photo of the Day. This category was inspired by the pictures posted by Cultural Heritage Ireland on their facebook page. The intent behind sharing these photos with you is to provide insight into where and how our ancestors lived. We will continue to seek out other such heritage sites that cover as many geographic areas as possible. If you know of any, or wish to post some of your own heritage photos, (remember, they will be publicly accessible) we would love to hear from you.
Our first photo is of a thatched cottage in Glencolumbkile,Co. Donegal, c.1890.
