    Lecture scheduled on Irish History
    
    NEWTON - The Irish Ancestral Research Association known as Tiara will
    hold a program and business meeting on Friday, April 12, at 7:30 pm. 
    The meeting will be held in room 307, Higgins Hall, Boston College,
    located on Commonwealth Ave., in Chestnut Hill near Brighton - Newton
    border [in Massachusetts USA].
    
    "A look at Irish history through lithographs" will be presented by John
    McGuire, past president of the Eire Society.  Mr. McGuire's collection
    is comprised of works printed in Ireland between 1850 and 1900 that
    were prepared for export to be sold to recent emigrees for use in their
    new homes.  Along with the lithographs, Mr. McGuire will be displaying
    a portion of his vast collection of books on Irish history and culture.
    
    The association is an organization of amateur, family and professional
    researchers who meet to exchange information about Irish family
    history.  Meetings are held on the second Friday evening of each month
    except July and August.  There is no admission charge and the public is
    welcome.  For more information, call (617) 894-0062.

    
    Hey George,
    
    Thanks for giving us such advanced notice!  You know how some of us
    have to plan ahead, get maps, detailed directions, traffic light
    counts, etc.
