Join us for this FREE webinar sponsored by the Southern California Genealogical Society.
This presentation will look
at a variety of ways to organize information with the intent on noticing information
and trends that were not obvious, preparing the researcher to present their
information to others, and assisting the researching in seeing gaps in their
research.
The overall goal of the
lecture is to give attendees a practical guide to finding the origins of their
Irish ancestors in a broad overview lecture. The lecture will start with the
central event in the history of Irish genealogy, the destruction of the Public
records Office in Dublin on June 30, 1922 near the end of the Irish Civil War.
As a result unique challenges and realistic expectations for Irish ancestral
research will be discussed. Existing vital records and census records along
with unique census substitutes for 19th century Ireland will be presented.
Research materials available on-line and through film rental will be shown with
examples available without the time and expense necessary to travel to Ireland.
Irish Protestants and resources and record repositories in Ireland will not be
covered. Michael Brophy is a professional genealogical researcher, heir search specialist, and lecturer in the Boston area. He has served as Program Director and Publicity Director for the Massachusetts Genealogical Council. He was the first Treasurer of the New England of Association of Professional Genealogists. Mike earned an MBA degree from Suffolk University and a BBA from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He was the lead researcher in Massachusetts for the recently released book from St Martin’s Press, The Remains of Company D, A Story of the Great War, by James Carl Nelson. He conducted research for the NBC television program Who Do You Think You Are?, researching the ancestry of actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
