Second Saturday: Finding Records To Help Document Your Farming Ancestor
Saturday, March 12
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm

She gives genealogy presentations and writes about her family on two blogs: “Mam-ma’s Southern Family” (http://mam-massouthernfamily.blogspot.com/) and “My Trails into the Past” (http://mytrailsintothepast.blogspot.com/). She has also written a three-generation family history about her husband’s Swedish ancestors.

Second Saturday: Giving Our Female Ancestors a Voice
Saturday, May 14
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
The absence of women in historical records often makes our research challenging. Using social history to create rich biographical sketches allows us to bring our female ancestors out of the shadows of the law or their husbands. This presentation offers a narrative lineage set in 19th century Ireland, England, and the U.S., which uses historical context to bring the unique stories of women to life.
Speaker: Stephanie O'Connell, CG®, is a genealogy researcher, writer, lecturer, and SGS member. She began researching her ancestors in 2010 and soon discovered her their family history story read like a scandal sheet. Stephanie earned the Certified Genealogy credential in 2021. She primarily focuses on Irish research and discovering European immigration stories.
