Welcome to Dunmanway Historical Association

Dunmanway Historical Association was founded in 2003 with the aim of promoting an interest in the history of Dunmanway and its hinterland. The primary objects of the Association are to investigate and research any matters, books or other material likely to yield historical information; to collect and publish material of local interest to its members and the public in general. The aims and objects of the Association are enshrined in our constitution.

The Association’s aim is to have a permanent base in which we can extend our display of charts, posters and photographs, continue our research and recording. The centre is used regularly both by the local people and tourists and in particular by the local schools. The students visit it regularly seeking information for their projects.

Genealogy

It is our intention to establish a Genealogy Centre in Dunmanway. We plan to create a data base of all parish records, births, marriages and deaths so that they are readily available to locals and tourists alike. We respond to numerous enquiries from overseas visitors requesting information on their ancestors. We have at our disposal numerous sources of information, such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses (both of which are now available on line at www.nationalarchives.ie), Griffiths Valuations compiled between 1848 and 1864, Cox Estate list of Tenants in 1852 and numerous local reference books, including a list of gravestones in Fanlobbus and Kilbarry Graveyards.
. We now have a permanet base to source, collect and record old and new historical material. It is great to have this base to house our collections so that future generations will benefit from our endeavours.We are located in the Square Shopping Centre, The Square, Dunmanway.
