WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE O’DONOGHUE SOCIETY?
My periodic update, in shorthand, on our progress
Highlights since July
- October journal published. Some really good articles
- Meet an O’Donoghue: We now have 19 participants: 9 in USA; 3 in Ireland; 2 in each of France and UK; 1 in each of Spain, Turkey and New Zealand. Have any folk made contact?
- News is being uploaded regularly: 20 items since July.
- The Y-DNA project now has 273 participants. Next report in January.
Lots of people have made connections through the society but I rarely hear about them. Please spare a minute and tell me your story. It would also be really good if you would spread the word via your own social media.
Are there any media savvy O'Donoghues, perhaps studying web marketing, who might enjoy looking into the markers of success for a site such as ours and suggesting how to increase traffic. Perhaps a project for a young student. They could search for comparator sites and analyse the different approaches.
Books for Christmas….why not add ‘O’Donoghue People and Places’ and ‘Heroic Landscapes: Irish Myth & Legend’ to your Christmas list. Get orders in early to ensure postal delivery in time.
I know time is at a premium, but all involvement will add to our community, so please find some way to contribute if you can.
Blog: So far I am the only person to have published anything!
Forums (under Connections & community): Postings have dried up – what are we doing wrong! We have a real history of making connections, so get your enquiry submitted.
News: Please send me the details whenever you see references to folk of our name in the media.
Events: Anyone holding a gathering, reunion or meeting next year? Please let me know and I will post it.
Journal: If you have a story or project we would love to hear about it.
We plan a survey shortly to see what you think of our efforts.
Cheers
