These meetings are facilitated online through use of Zoom and are chaired by Frankie Roofe. Regarding our members'lpublic meetings, the online Zoom feature has greatly appealed to our overseas members and FGC has seen a significant rise in membership. The use of monthly bulletins from the secretary helps keep the membership infonned of developments. We continue to be the Genealogical Heritage provider in Fernianagh for Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and are grateful for their annual grant. We meet with FODC'S designated representatives on a quarterly basis and provide a review of our activities and eXpendIre. Without doubt the highlight of 2022 for FGC was its launch of the 'Back Streets-Dardanelles' memory map in October. This project was funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund. facilitated through its Fennanagh organ. Lough Erne Landscape Partnership. This drew in good numbers at our launch and we are very proud of this project which we know will keep alive this once vibrant area of Enniskillen. Responses from viewers have been very positive. as was our co-operation with the Inniskillings Military Museum who assisted us with inforniation on the First World War dead from the Back Streets. This online memory map is available to view on our website and is free to all. Ow www.fennanaghgenealogy.org website offers members access to recordings of our talks. as well as access to articles published by our membership. The technical side of FGC'S affairs is expertly managed by Mary-Anne Grant. Enniskillen Castle Museum put on an exhibition of FGC'S project on the L0s-T0ttenh8rn family from Ely Lodge, County Fennanagh. This had earlier been postponed due to Covid restrictions. This gave visitors from near and far an expertence of FGC'S research. Covid restrictions yet again prevented Face to Face meetings at our Enniskillen Castle hub. It is our intention to hold these again in 2023, dependent on circumstances. Our transcription teams continuned to transcribe National School records but a major development was our assisting Enniskillen Castle Musuem with transcription of their Enniskillen Work House records. Each year we invite a 'special' guest speaker as a highlight to our Talks Programme. In April 2022 Enzo Farinella, formerly an Italian Papal envoy to Ireland, gave a superb presentation on 'Irish Christian missionaries, with a focus on Fern]anagh'. The summer annual trip was hosted in June with 15 members taking part. Commencing with a boat tour around Enniskillen and followed by a walking tour of the town. the event concluded with a meal in the Taphouse. Our AGM wa5 held on Saturday I Ith June 2022.

The donations from the American Ireland Fund had come in early last year, so none showing this year. Membership income has increased when compared with previous years (£1,537 this year, when compared to the previous year of £963).
