EVENT: Irish Genealogical society International presents Burren Girl Documentary: Behind the Scenes by rita davern

Burren Girl Documentary: Behind the Scenes with filmmaker Rita Davern
Saturday, June 12 10:30am – 12:00pm (CDT) - a virtual presentation

Probably all of us have paper genealogy files. Some may have the information stored in a database. A few may have written a story or perhaps even compiled a book on your family tree. Rita Davern makes us all look like slackers. She made a movie of her forty-year journey to find the place and people she comes from in County Clare. And, to top that feat off, her resulting film The Burren Girl was selected as an entry in the Spring Grove International Film Festival, the Beloit International Film Festival and the Twin Cities Film Festival where it won the Audience Award in the Non-Fiction Category!

This webinar is FREE. However, you do need to register. Do so soon as space is limited to the first 250 registrants. For more details and to register, click HERE.
