Irish Research
Our topic for the week of St. Patrick's Day was "Finding Irish Ancestors." We learned a bit of the history and geography of Ireland, including the administrative divisions: townland, parish, county and province.
It is necessary to use all available records in the U. S. (or Canada) to learn a possible place of birth before trying to access Irish sources. The FamilySearch Wiki and its Irish Research page are extremely helpful.
Useful websites include Ask About Ireland, Irish Genealogy, National Archives of Ireland, PRONI, Townlands Database and John Grenham's Irish Ancestors.

March 8 Workshop - Family Tree
We used the first part of the workshop to review some of the features of the FamilySearch Family Tree. We looked at adding sources, analyzing records, editing dates and locations, merging a duplicate and learning how to merge by ID number. Annie also demonstrated the use of "Record Seek" to attach information from Ancestry to a family tree person.
There was also time for assistance with Legacy software, FamilyTree questions and other genealogy-related problems.

Remember the Ladies!
This week Maureen provided a great reminder of many ways we can attempt to discover information about our female ancestors.
Vital records, census, and cemetery records are some of the common sources we all know to use. We should also consider divorce records, pension records, probate or land records, and newspapers. Sometimes unusual given names and unsourced family trees will contain clues.
Maureen also suggested doing some research to find out what her life would have been like in a particular time period. The handout had many suggestions for further study. Thanks, Maureen, for an excellent presentation!
