Saturday, November 15 – virtual webinar on Zoom

Irish Research in the Public Records Office (PRONI):
In Belfast or online, it's not just Ulster!

Presented online by professional genealogist Dave Miller

10:30 am - noon CDT (UTC-6)

$15 for IGSI members (with coupon code; $20 for non-members)

The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) archive in Belfast contains millions of historical and genealogical documents that date back centuries. It can be of great value to the genealogist and family historian, and these records are not limited to what we now know as Northern Ireland! 

Dave will discuss both online and in-person visits to find essential records of your ancestors. He will provide examples of the records that are available from his own research. Don’t forget, as a researcher, the place we know as “Ireland” has changed greatly over the centuries, and your crucial records can appear in unexpected places!

How can I best find source records on the MyHeritage.com Library Edition?

Presented online by Daniel Horowitz from the company

MyHeritage is an online subscription resource for family history research with web and mobile platforms, available in dozens of languages. Users can browse/search/save billions of historical records, newspaper entries, and photos documenting their ancestors. In recent years, many different tools have been added relating to record searching, photo enhancement, DNA analysis, and artificial intelligence.

Daniel will focus on use of the Library Edition of MyHeritage, and how researchers can best leverage the site's search and filtering tools to identify relevant source records and public trees on the site. He will discuss effective search strategies and introduce us to new and notable tools available to MyHeritage in a library setting.
