Kathie's topic: My Irish Genealogical Journey
 
My goal has always been to learn more about my Irish family and where they came from. 75% of my family background is Irish. Along the way I’ve learned the better way to do things after taking some wrong turns. I’ll share some of those successes and mistakes I have made. 
 
Bio: 
I’ve been doing genealogy for over 40 years. I’ve researched in Washington state, Massachusetts, California, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ireland. My favorite notable ways to research include visiting cemeteries, family history centers, online research, facebook groups, and travel.
