ABOUT THE GROUP



The Clontuskert Heritage Group is a scholarly group of eighteen members from varying backgrounds who have dedicated over four and a half years to researching and writing the publication, The Parish of Clontuskert - Glimpses into its Past.

The group was founded in 2005 out of a collective desire to preserve as much of the recorded heritage of Clontuskert as was feasible, before it was lost forever. The group scoured Estate records, Famine Commission reports, Church records and Army records, in addition to wading through countless newspapers, sourcing photographs and interviewing many people.

By publishing the book, the group hope to raise an awareness of Clontuskert's rich cultural heritage and to facilitate parishioners in researching the history of their own families. The Heritage Group extends its gratitude to all who assisted in the publication of the book, generously giving their time and expertise while providing information maps, photographs, access to archives and financial assistance.
