Mallow Archaeological & Historical Society

This is our 11th Journal. To date we have presented nearly two hundred articles on Mallow and its people at home and abroad. We are now finding a great interest in our Journal by Mallow people overseas. In this Journal, side by side with local topics, are contributions from authors as far away as Australia.

During the past year a number of visitors, attracted by our Journal, contacted the Field Club, Valda Strauss, Maria Cahill, and Bettina Blackell, all from Melbourne, Australia, visited us and promised articles. Brian O'Regan from Ottowa, Canada, (descended from O'Regans - stonemasons of Doneraile) and Denis Ahearn [sic] of Massachusetts, U.S.A., also researching his North Cork roots, contacted us.

Increasingly we are making contact with our Mallow exiles throughout the world and we invite people to inform their relatives abroad about our Journal which will be of help to them in tracing their roots.
