IRISH HISTORY PROJECT
The History Project was the vision of Steve and Kathy Kratftmiller and has since acquired a handful of dedicated members who feel strongly about documenting the trials and tribulations of our founding members. In addition to conducting interviews of the charter members of the club, the History Project plans to interview members of the club who are either first generation Irish or whose ancestors came from Ireland and settled in the Milford Area. The History Project is always looking for additional members who have a passion for family and Irish history.
If you would like to join other Irish history enthusiasts to support this amazing project, only a few hours a month is all that is needed and we will be on our way to documenting our Milford Irish roots! A sign-up sheet is available at the clubhouse at our monthly General Membership meetings. Current members are excited to welcome new members to further our progress toward documenting the creation and founding of our beautiful club and to record the early immigration of our Irish ancestors to the Milford area.
