The County Clare Library has a wonderful collection of photos of schoolchildren. Most of the children are not identified.
Given the focus on people tracing their Irish ancestory this year, my hope would be that everyone would take a good look at these photos and if they recognise any of these children (or can identify anyone in the photos), that they would notify the appropriate people.
I have looked at these photos many times wondering if any of these children are my ancestors and I am sure others have done the same.
Perhaps newspapers could get on board and publish one or more photos from time to time and ask for assistance from the general public to help identify the people in them.
I think this would be a great way for the media (even television channels perhaps) to get on board and do a great thing for Ireland Reaching Out.

Thanks for that tip. I will take a look at the school photos and pass on that information to the Clare Parish Admins for you!
