South Armagh

These pages are about South Armagh, where I was born and grew up, and lived in until the age of twenty two, now well over forty years ago, and where most of my relatives lived. Many still live there.

There is a note about the County, and some short folk stories collected by the late TGF Patterson of the Armagh County Museum.

South Armagh has a long and troubled history and a number of historical societies and organisations are dedicated to chronicling the area's past. I publish here, with the permission of the Creggan History Society, a list of their Journals and their contents, together with selected articles from the Journals. There is also a link to the Society's website.
