Day 9 & 10 – Remembrance Month Battle of the Somme – Centenary – 2016 click here

The Battle of the Somme - The 36th (Ulster) Division was an infantry division of the British Army, part of Lord Kitchener's New Army, formed in September 1914.

THE JANUS STONE, FERMANAGH, NORTHERN IRELAND – (click here for full story)

Went out and about one day on the search for the Janus Stone! What exactly is the Janus Stone? The Janus Stone, which is on Boa Island, County Fermanagh is believed to go back as far as Pagan time in Ireland. As it pre-dates Christianity it is believed to be over 2023 years old. It is one of the most famous carved stones in Northern Ireland and Ireland. Think about it the early Irish Christian period was between 400-800 AD – just let that sink in! As with all things Irish people have to balance archaeological findings and research

Welcome to Roots Northern Ireland!!!

Many people want to know about their family's history, but don't have a clue where to start, or haven't got the time to research it on their own. When I was younger, I was fascinated by how my crazy, diverse family came together, who we were, where we came from and how we got where we are now. I began to dig deeper into my family history and found that not only was it fascinating, I realized how passionate I became about doing the research and the 'detective' work that comes with being a family historian. I love the 'hunt'.

St. George’s Market, Belfast, Northern Ireland

About St. George’s Market I’m a big fan of St. George’s Market and enjoy going there a few times a year. The atmosphere is great and I love the live music playing throughout. All the colours there are a feast for the eyes while all the smells are a treat for the nose. History Although St. George’s Market was built at the end of the 19th Century, the Friday market that is still held there each week dates back to 1604. The market has long been a major part in the social history and traditions of Belfast. During World War
