Archival history

This research was carried out by Michael Anderson of Co. Down, who gave a talk in 2009 as part of the Down County Board 125th year anniversary celebrations of the founding of the GAA. The talk prompted questions about the Woods family of Dromore, Co. Down, who Cusack married into in 1876, and Michael and Margaret's descendents. These two folders are the research notes and materials that formed part of Michael Anderson's subsequent research.
