UPCOMING MEETING
Follow Your Family Through Their Chain Migration
Saturday, June 21, 2025
At the Freeport Memorial Library
Follow Your Family Through Their Chain Migration
Kevin Cassidy
The average Irish immigrant did not arrive in the U.S. alone. He likely followed an already existing chain of relatives, friends, and neighbors who had crossed the pond. This talk details how to find the pathway and track one’s family back to the parish of origin.
Forum member Kevin Cassidy is an avid researcher and lecturer on genealogy topics. He has spoken across the U.S., as well as Ireland. Cassidy has traced his own family tree back to the townlands of origin for all eight of his great-grandparents.
The presentation will also be available on Zoom at 10:45 a.m. for those members who are unable to come to the library.
