OLD PHOTOS WANTED!!!

I am currently researching the history of Moygownagh and surrounding parishes and looking for old photos of people and places. I will only need the originals to copy them and will return them immediately. It would be excellent if the names, location, date and any other info were written on the back. Condition does not matter and the older the better! A mile buiochas! (and any info anyone may have on the attached photo would be very helpful). Please contact Liam Alex Heffron 0879311666 or email 919films@gmail.com

A Fetac level 5 communications course will commence shortly in Moygownagh Community Centre. This module is beneficial to anyone in the process of completing a Care of the Elderly or a Childcare course. For further information please contact Ann at: 096 31066.
