Examples of What We’re Looking For (But Not Limited To)
Family photographs & personal histories – Irish immigrants and Irish American families in Naugatuck
Immigration records, naturalization papers, or letters from Irish ancestors
Memorabilia from Irish-owned businesses (pubs, bakeries, unions, social clubs)
Church records, school yearbooks, or event programs featuring Irish families
Oral histories & recorded interviews about growing up in an Irish household
