I am an Irish research expert.  I also have expertise in New England, New York (both city and state) and German research. 
 
I have been conducting genealogical research since 2001 and work with private clients, as a Research Services genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and as a Green Room genealogist for Your Irish Heritage. I also lecture both virtually and in-person in the Greater Boston area.
