For researchers who plan on visiting Ireland, and even those who may not, the ability to see the actual location can provide important research insight, and even stories.

May 13 - Finding Ancestors Under the Southern Cross presented by Susan O'Connor
10:30 AM - Noon CST (UTC-6)
$15 for IGSI members (with Discount Code); $25 for non-members
In multiple waves of migrations, thousands of emigrants came to Australia from countries in Europe, as well as North and South America. Records for these people often start in their native countries and then seem to disappear. This session will give an overview of Australian records available, both online and in repositories, to help researchers find the stories of these people. It will also show how DNA results can help you discover more about your ancestors, as well as connect to your Australian cousins.
Susan teaches and coaches genealogy and family research in addition to her client work. She has over 25 years' experience developing and teaching computer training programs. She is a certificate holder from BU's Genealogy Research Program and is a member of multiple genealogical associations.
