McGuigans To Reunite

It has been over 160 years since two brothers, Henry and James McGuigan left their beloved family and home in Ireland for an incredible adventure searching for gold in the far distant land of Australia. I am travelling from Australia to our ancestral homeland to meet McGuigan relations living in and around Maghera Northern Ireland. Our McGuigan family has lived in this area since the 1700's and possibly even earlier. This historic journey back to Ireland with its majestic scenery, inspiring people and history promises to be filled with excitement and amazing discoveries culminating in the gathering of the clan at Maghera on Sunday 22nd July 2012 for a day of joyous celebration. My much anticipated adventure begins on Friday 29th June 2012......

Day 3 Belfast Northern Ireland Sunday 1st July 2012

After a lovely lunch at the Titanic Museum it was time for our tour. This museum opened only recently and is world class. It's spread out over 4 floors with 9 gallery's to explore that are fascinating and simply stunning. It tells the story of Titanic from the beginning, to building, to launching, to the fit out, to the maiden voyage, to the sinking, to the aftermath and all the myths and legends of this great ship. You can explore the shipyard, travel to the depths of the ocean and uncover the true legend of the Titanic in the city where it all began. Outstanding afternoon! Now its back to our apartment to plan our day tomorrow at the PRONI.
