This blog is a personal take on Listowel, Co. Kerry. I am writing for anyone anywhere with a Listowel connection but especially for sons and daughters of Listowel who find themselves far from home. Contact me at listowelconnection@gmail.com

Social History

We’ve had an email from Sarah Moore with some invaluable guidelines for anyone going about recording the reminiscences of an older person

Hi Mary,

I was just wondering if you were still updating https://listowelconnection.com/australian-kenneallys-some-family/. We’ve just created a great guide to help people interview their elderly family members for genealogical research, and how to get the best experience and understanding from those interviews. You can see it here: https://ourpublicrecords.org/interview-elderly-relatives/

If it would be useful to your readers, we’d love to be included on your page!

Thank you,

Sarah Moore

    Speaking of impact, I want you to know how much I’m enjoying your messages. When I signed up, I was expecting to hear from you once a week or less. When I first saw 2 messages in 2 days, I thought it would be too much. Now I look forward to seeing Listowel pop up in my mailbox each day & enjoy the photos & stories. Thank you for brightening my days & bringing my father’s hometown to life.
