Caron Primas Brennan loves history, biography, puzzles, and a good mystery, which makes her perfectly suited to genealogy research! A 6th grade school project got her interested in researching her own family tree. Her special areas of genealogical interest are Colonial America, Prussian, and Norwegian research along her family lines as well as related DNA projects.
Caron is the Executive Director of the Iroquois Theatre Fire Historical Society (https://iroquoistheatrefire.org/) and belongs to several local and regional genealogy groups including being a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
