Kildare people invited to discover their heritage with special meeting taking place in Timolin next week

Who do you think we are and where do your ancestors come from?

People living in Co Kildare are being invited to find out by attending the South Kildare Villages Heritage & History group's first meeting of the new year which will be taking place in O'Brien's in Timolin on Monday, 7 January.

The meeting is taking place in Paddy O'Brien's Hostelry in Timolin next Monday just before 7.30pm and those interested in attending are urged to come early.

Colm Flynn  has been researching his and our Celtic origins, and South Kildare is possibly one of the earliest inhabited areas in Ireland.

Who were these people, why have some got black hair and some brown or blond? What colour are your eyes and what does that indicate about your ancestry? How good is genetics in placing your ancestors?

Colm will discuss this and more with the blonds and brunettes attending.

It will all happen in a New Year's Party mood, and Colm's researchers will present people and places in a whole new light.

Not to be missed for those curious about discovering their ancestry!
