FERMANAGH GENEALOGY CENTRE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 31 DECEMBER 2023
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
SignifJcaDt activities and Public benefit
Femianagh Genealogy Centre continued to thrive in 2023 due to its enthusiastic and dedicated comrnittee and its loyal
membership. Our committee ITh 2023 included Caroline Fitzpatrick. Conor Maguire. Dave McNulty, Frankie Roofe, Fred
Cleary. Karen Ireson, Mary-Anne Grant, Mervyn Hall and Viola Wiggins. 2023 saw our greatest ever number of
members (over the 100 mark) and, due to use of recordings of talks and live recording of meetings, this has extended our
outreach to North America and Australia, as well as the U.K. Monthly bulletins also kept the membership infomied of
developments.
Monthly meetings in Fern]anagh House were very well attended with usually over 30 people physically present, as well
as a steady number who viewed online. Our online website at www.fennanaghgenealogy.org placed recorded
presentations for the membership to view, at their leisure. These recordings and their editing were expertly dealt with by
Mary-Anne Grant. We continued with our active Face Book page which was run by Karen and Linda.
We continued to enjoy a very good relationship with Fennanagh and Omagh District Council who again provided FGC
with a grant, in return for our transcription service and Face to Face meetings. The curator kindly made the art room
available for the aforementioned activities.
Face to Face meetings resumed frorn Spring 2023 with Covid in abeyance. Here Frankie and Caroline took on the bulk
of these meetings. Great credit also to Caroline who, as well as overseeing our books. organised membership enroltnent
and volunteering. She also took on the role of co-ordinator for cyber security in October. Shelley, in Canad4 responded
to all email enquirtes and received great praise from those she helped.
Vivienne OTganised a tour of Enniskillen's Workhouse and the Inniskillings Museutn back in April, and this was greatly
enjoyed by those in attendance. So. too her annual FGC outing in June which visited places of interest in Monaghan and
Cavan. By coincidence. we met an Irish government minister (Heather Humphries) who was attending an event in
Clones.
Our major doner, Joe Quinlan & his wife Mary Lou visited Fern]anagh in May and it was a pleasure to meet them and
their extended Fermanagh family.
FGC Sage Library - books and other family history material continued to be collected in 2023. We await the Completion
of the agreed appropriate space in the museum before opening up a lending service to our local members.
One consequence of our 2022 Back Streets Dardanelles online Memory rnap, was an award given to Mervyn. The core
part of FGC'S Back Streets Metnory Map. was his research on the men from thi5 part of Enniskillen who were killed in
the First World War. Mervyn's role, as an Inniskilling5 Regimental Museum volunteer, was recognised by The British
Museum's Marsh Volunteers, Award. He was the Northern Ireland regional winner for 2023.
