Summer school isn't just for kids who performed poorly in the regular term or those who want to get extra credits. It's also for genealogists who want to study their Irish ancestors.

The Ulster History & Genealogy Summer School will run from June 20 to 26 on the Belfast campus of the University of Ulster. Those attending will be enrolled as part-time students at the university.

The school is run by the Ulster Historical Foundation in partnership with the university, and it includes talks, tours, presentations and genealogy-related events. Emphasis will be placed on students researching at archives and libraries such as the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland.

For those who have their ancestors across the pond, this will make a great summer vacation. Full details are available online at www.ancestryireland.com/summerschool.
