This blogpost is to let you know that there is a new introductory video about my research business, Gorry Research. Maybe you’d like to take a look. The one-minute ‘teaser’ is here and the full video (17 min.) will be found on the homepage of our website (just scroll down the page).
It’s a chance for potential clients to get a feel for our approach to genealogical research and for our current / recent / long term clients to get to know me better. The video was made by a young film-maker, John Hughes of Parkmore Studios in Baltinglass.
Last year John directed a feature film in and around Baltinglass with a volunteer cast and crew. Having started by helping out with practicalities, I progressed to being officially designated ‘co-producer’. It was a lot of fun. The film is currently in post-production.
Back to the introductory video about Gorry Research, do have a look. Leave a comment here if you wish. Feedback would be welcome. If you have a research enquiry please email INFO at GORRY RESEARCH.
Paul – I much enjoyed watching your new video and ‘meeting’ you for the first time from a windswept Vancouver Island here on Canada’s west coast! I remember myself the State Heraldic Museum, at that time housed in the old Kildare Street Club premises, and was sorry to see it go – it inspired my own nascient interest in heraldry which has developed considerably since my arrival on these shores. Best wishes for an insightful and inspiring 2024 – perhaps we’ll meet in Baltinglass some day!
Hello John, yes the Heraldic Museum moved from Dublin Castle to Kildare Street in the 1980s, but it was in storage for some time in the interim. Then in the 2000s the National Library literally put it into boxes and buried it somewhere so they could use the room for yet another exhibition area. More recently they moved the NLI Manuscript Reading Room into that area from where it was, directly above it. Yes, we’ll have to meet in Baltinglass some day. In the meantime, we must complete your search – working on it. Paul
Sounds great, Paul! Best regards, John
Hi Paul
Many thanks for what you did for me. I now know where we came from which is important to me. I intend to make as visit when I can get away to see Bessbrook.
Again many many thanks.
Thank you Bill, I’m glad we were able to find where they originated. Enjoy your visit to Armagh when you get around to it. Paul
