We have been assigned a project on local history. This project will be graded, which will then be used for the result on our Christmas reports. We have been asked to choose a town which is associated with history and has historical significance. We have the option of choosing our own town, Celbridge, or else a town in which we have relatives or from which our parents are from.
I am going to research either Celbridge or Foxford, a town in the County of Mayo. My mam comes from this town. I have books on the history for both of these towns which makes the decision all the harder for me but the researching all the easier for me! It would be nice to really understand the origin of your own local town but it would also be interesting to learn about the origin of the town from which a lot of my relatives are from.
Either way, I feel this will be an enjoyable project because I like local history and learning about how things were in Ireland in the past.
