Sorry for the unannounced summer break in events listings. I was overwhelmed with other matters and had to set priorities for how to best use my desk time. My weekly events listing is easily the most time-consuming regular post on IrishGenealogyNews; contrary to most people’s assumptions, fewer than 5% of the entries in my listings are actually notified to me by the hosts.
