Expert Workshop for CPD,
May 2016


Joe Buggy
Researching Uncle Sam:

Introductory Genealogy Resources in the United States of America

This May we welcome Joe Buggy to the National Library of Ireland as our guest speaker for the Expert Workshop for CPD.  Almost 3.8 million people immigrated to the United States of America from Ireland between 1851 and 1921. Millions more arrived on the shores of North America in the decades and centuries before those years. Therefore, practically every Irish-born person today has an ancestor who can be traced in American genealogy records. This talk will provide researchers with an overview of the main record sets that should be consulted when beginning genealogy research in the U.S. Read more about the talk here

This years show was a great success and again very well organised.  We were delighted to see such a strong turn out each day.  There was as always excellent management by the Society of Genealogists.  The programme of society vendors, experts from across the field, and relevant workshops were also a key attraction.
