Hi Gem,
I will get in touch with the organisers and will come back to you once I have received a reply.

Hi Gem, thanks for your query and my apologies for the delay in replying. 

We are happy to travel to and speak anywhere where we are invited and have spoken in Connecticut on many occasions - most recently in Fairfield in 2015, hosted by Fréamh Éireann, part of Fairfield Gaelic – American Club (GAC). 

If you know of or are part of a genealogical or historical society or have a local library which might be interested in hosting us on our next lecture tour in March 2018, please ask them to email us at enquiry@uhf.org.uk with the subject heading 'Lecture Tour 2018'

You may also wish to sign up to receive our e-newsletter to hear about any forthcoming talks: www.ancestryireland.com/my-account/subscribe-newsletter/

I hope to meet you at one of our future events! :-)

Many thanks for your interest, 

Gillian Hunt
