Speaker: Claire Bradley
Claire Bradley is a professional Irish genealogist working with both paper records and genetic genealogy. She holds a Certificate in Genealogy from University College Dublin and a Masters in History of the Family from the University of Limerick. Claire is passionate about teaching people how to research their own ancestry. She teaches a beginners’ adult education course now running for 15 years covering all the Irish major sources in Dublin and regularly lectures both in person and online to a wide range of family history and historical societies in Ireland and countries with Irish diasporas. Her website is www.cbgenealogy.ie.
With all of the free websites and helpful guides out there, it’s not difficult to get started researching your family tree. Many new researchers fall into bad habits quickly, particularly using automated hints without any real understanding of the context and background to sources and Irish history. This talks breaks down these barriers discussing major historical events of significance for genealogical research and placing them within context.
