The first visit of the PEACEPLUS Cross Border Heritage Project took place in Donegal with 15 participants each from Mid Ulster, Donegal and Monaghan – 45 participants in total took part in networking to share their projects.
Dr Brian Lacey
Irish archaeologist and historian specialises in the early medieval period (AD 500-1200) in northwest Ireland, particularly Counties Donegal and Derry. He has special expertise in Saint Colmcille, which he has studied for over 50 years.
Dr Lacey gave a talk on the emergence of the principal surnames in medieval Ulster, especially because most of those have a Donegal connection/origin.
