Hybrid Meeting with Zoom Presenter from Ireland
"How to Pinpoint Your Irish Ancestors Using DNA"
with Claire Bradley
Many Americans have Irish ancestry and are keen to know more about their Irish forebears. However, a stumbling block to researching those ancestors is not knowing where in Ireland they came from. On most census information, the person simply wrote “Ireland” until the mid-20th century. However, the advent of DNA testing may be just the thing to help you over this obstacle. Join Irish genetic genealogist Claire Bradley as she explains how to use the valuable clues in your DNA results and how to marry them with modern Irish genealogical records.
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 Master of Arts in History of the Family from the University of Limerick. As well as regular client work, Claire is passionate about teaching people how to research their own ancestry. She teaches a beginners’ adult education course now running for over 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.
