  1. My name is Adrienne Czerwin-Abbott, I am researching our family history. My Grandmother was a refugee who came to Monaghan from Mechelen in Belgium during the 1st world war. She and her sisters started a Belgium embroidery factory called Belbroid in Monaghan. Obviously we would be thrilled if we could find a sample of the output of that factory. Can you assist with any information on this topic as Monaghan is planning a centenary celebration of the Belgium refugees coming to Monaghan and need relevant exhibits. Thanks Adrienne Czerwin Abbott (0863288707)

  2. I have inherited several yards of Maltese lace dated 1843 and Irish cream coloured and black lace of a similar date. I would like some advice about storing such lace. Jane C. Ryan
