In the May-July 2017 issue of the IFHF’s Newsletter, Barbara Murphy has a wonderful Research Tip.
She recommends John Grenham’s Irish Roots Blog.
A post there is entitled “Why are Irish Records so Weird?” Grenham recently presented the topic for Legacy software’s FamilyTreeWebinars.com library. On his blog, his written discussion is featured. See https://www.johngrenham.com/blog/2017/03/16/why-are-irish-records-so-weird/
We will be returning to the Bethpage Public Library for the October 16th meeting.
We will also be putting the meeting on ZOOM for those members who prefer to attend remotely.
Melissa Johnson, Using Vital Records
Melissa Johnson, CG, returns to the Forum with a lecture about how to use birth, marriage, death, and divorce records to build your family tree. Discover records that can substitute for vital records that are unavailable, as well as records that can be located based on information found in vital records. While geared toward beginners, this talk will also appeal to more experienced researchers.
Johnson specializes in researching families from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and the British Isles, as well as in DNA testing for adoptees and unknown parentage, dual citizenship, and lineage society research.
