The dates for Back to Our Past and Genetic Genealogy Ireland have been announced for next year in Belfast. Once again, this will be a 2-day event running over Friday and Saturday, 15th & 16th of February, 2019. The first event took place earlier this year (2018) in the iconic Titanic Belfast museum on Belfast's waterfront and was a great success.
