Irish Women of Action

The New York Irish History Roundtable presents:

Irish Women of Action

For years Irish New Yorkers supported struggles in Ireland for reform and independence. New research into the activities of Irish women in New York has revealed dramatic information about their activities on behalf of change in Ireland…and within the United States. This Roundtable program focuses on four of these Irish Women of Action – Dr. Gertrude Kelly, Marguerite Moore, Mary Jane Irwin, and Alice Comiskey.

This unique program brings together experts on the topic: Miriam Nyhan, William Rossa Cole, Elizabeth Lee Hodges, and Maureen Murphy.

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.
