The Genealogical Society of Ireland:
The Society was founded as the Dún Laoghaire Genealogical Society on the 25th October 1990 by a group of neighbours in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. The Society grew quickly and just ten years into its existence, the members decided to change the name of the organisation from the Dún Laoghaire Genealogical Society to the Genealogical Society of Ireland. This new name more adequately reflected the activities, scope and membership of the organisation. As part of outreach the society will be at the family history fair to provide assistance to those researching their Irish roots. http://familyhistory.ie/wp/
