The Morrill Memorial Library continues our fall genealogy series with a Zoom presentation, "Irish Genealogy Databases" by Michael Brophy, professional genealogical researcher, on Thursday, September 29 at 7:00pm.

Information about our Irish ancestors is exploding on the internet. During this presentation, Michael explores and analyzes the best websites for Irish research and presents on recent, landmark additions of Catholic Church records and vital records. Finding aids for further Irish research are also assessed and critiqued in this exciting lecture on all that has happened with Irish resources in cyberspace. Please note that this presentation will be most helpful for attendees who already know a place in Ireland where their immigrant ancestor came from.
