CHC is excited to have genealogy and family research as one of our goals to preserve our Irish heritage. As such, we have been gathering books, records, maps, and more to create the Nolan-Murphy Genealogy Library inside Curran House. Click here for a list of our current collection. Check back once in a while to see what we have added.
