Some interesting stories emerging from our #ForgottenWomenFriday on the #IrishLinen industry Let us know how you are getting on if you are researching

Fun fact for our #IrishLinen themed #ForgottenWomenFriday In the year 1903, enough linen was woven in Ireland to wrap a six-foot wide strip around the earth.

We will soon be opening up the Zoom for another #ForgottenWomenFriday this time researching Irish Linen workers. Who are you researching?

Don't forget that there are resources on our website too. We've just added more for those researching the history of mental health and asylums #SocialHistory #MentalHealth #FamilyHistory #Genealogy www.fewforgottenwomen.com/mentalhealth
