Presenter:  Julie Medlock Flake

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Women's History Month, come learn about tracing your Irish female ancestors. Women are often an elusive part of our research and Irish record loss makes finding them even harder. Understanding how to overcome these roadblocks can lead to new discoveries about the women in your tree. Using examples from the speakers' own research, attendees will come away with new strategies and ideas to help them in their own Irish research and beyond.
