The thread documents a genealogical collaboration and planned contact, not a verified family connection for every participant or a complete database inventory.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000535
- The planning notice sets the March 30, 2006 departure, a ten-day/nine-night itinerary centered on Arranmore, and a preliminary group of 53 travelers. It is an organizer advance notice; the later Beacon account is stronger for the completed trip and itinerary.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000489
- The Ireland Travelers group announced that Beaver Islanders traveling to Arranmore planned to contribute toward playground equipment for Arranmore's new Community Center and invited additional donations.
