Speaker: Maureen Brady

Maureen Brady’s presentation topic

“USING LIBRARIES IN YOUR FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH”

At some point in our family history research journey, we need to go offline and make a research trip. Often, libraries will provide local area expertise, a local history collection and, perhaps, the local genealogical society’s collection. Ethnic and religious libraries can provide many sources which are not available online. This presentation will examine using libraries in your research planning.

Maureen Brady began her family history journey over forty years ago, when she realized that as the older members of the family were passing on, the family stories were being lost. Recording the stories she knew, and researching the ones she didn’t know, she has traced her Scottish roots back to the end of the 17th century, French-Canada, Ireland, and Sweden.
