 Hello and welcome to Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2015, sponsored by Family Tree DNA and organized by ISOG, the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. And this year's series of lectures offer a wide variety of topics from some excellent speakers. We also are offering free DNA tests at the Family Tree DNA stand. And if you see your name up on this list, you should contact the Project Administrator for that particular project to see if you qualify for a free DNA test. Thanks also to a variety of authors, Debbie Kennet, Emily Olesino and Sean Quinn, for offering their books at discounted rates for anybody who bought a DNA test. And that certainly did help drive sales at the Family Tree DNA stand. We also had a series of prize draws, again to attract footfall at the stand from Emily Olesino and her book, Genetic Genealogy, The Basics and Beyond, from the main Irish Heritage Centre who offered a free DNA test, and also from Forces War Records who offered a one-year membership of their particular website and a free heraldry scroll. So the lectures themselves that you'll see and hear over the course of the next several weeks as they are gradually put up onto YouTube, explored the general theme of who are the Irish. And this is a topic that could be approached from a variety of different perspectives. For example, the ancient plans of Ireland, the Dal-Khash, the Onacht, also from the different ethnic groups who migrated into Ireland, the Normans, the planters, which produced this wonderful array of surnames that we have in Ireland today. Then of course there's the diaspora to America, Australia, Canada and Britain. But there's also the various genetic signatures that we find among people of Irish descent today. So a variety of different ways of approaching the topic who are the Irish, and of course it's all written in their DNA. And that was what we were trying to do at this year's event, encourage people from the general Irish public to buy DNA tests. And Family Tree DNA were very kind to offer a variety of different discounts on their usual prices. And that encouraged quite a few people to buy DNA tests at this year's event. So who are the Irish? Well, you'll find out over the course of the next several weeks as we gradually upload the videos of this year's presentations.
