Gaelic families have left their imprint on the shape of many old names that are still in use to this day, although corrupted now through Anglicization.
This series explores their origins with the use of maps, charts and photographs. The series became a revelation to many families who previously knew very little about their family origins.
Seoirse delivered these talks at The Red Door in Fahan during the summer of 2014.
