Analyzing Your Research presented over Zoom by Maureen Brady
Thursday, January 16, 2025; 7:00 pm
The gates to many research “brick walls” may often be opened by a thorough analysis of the records. Using examples of typical research documents, this presentation will demonstrate how clues for further research are often found “between the lines”.
Maureen Brady, a former school librarian and computer educator, has forty years’ experience with family history research. She has traced her Scottish roots back to the end of the 17th century and beyond, and has also pursued Chicago and the Midwest, the trans-Allegheny U.S., Quebecois, Irish and Swedish research. Maureen has made numerous presentations to genealogical societies, libraries, conferences and workshops throughout the U. S., including presenting for the Ohio Genealogical Society 2024 and 2025 Conferences, and the Brigham Young University Library family history webinar series.
She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and a life member of the Aberdeen and Northeast Scotland Family History Society, and the Ohio, Chicago and McHenry County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies. Maureen is also active in the Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, Southern Illinois and Lake County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies, the British Interest Group of Wisconsin & Illinois, and the Scottish Genealogical Society of the Chicago Scots.
