“I Remember Mama—But Not Her Maiden Name” (Live Webinar)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm Online Webinar
Our guest speaker will be: Mary Kircher Roddy, CG
Description: Women can be hard to identify. If they married, they probably changed their names. See more than 20 great strategies for finding the maiden name of "troublesome" women in your family's past - and a few more strategies for discovering married names for those sisters, daughters and aunts who have "disappeared."
Presenters Bio:
Mary Kircher Roddy, CG®, grew up in San Rafael, California. She earned a Bachelor degree in Liberal Studies from The University of California, Riverside in 1982 and a Master in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas in 1984. She earned a certificate in Genealogy and Family History at the University of Washington in 2005. She was credentialed by the Board for Certification of Genealogists® in 2019, Certificate No. 1113.
Mary became interested in genealogy in 2000 in anticipation of a sabbatical in Ireland where her husband was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Limerick. She was sure she would complete all her Irish genealogy while her husband taught at UL and her children attended Monaleen school. Fifteen years later, the genealogy is still a work in progress.
Mary has published articles in Family Chronicle and Internet Genealogy. She frequently lectures around the Seattle area and at national conferences. She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild, The Association of Professional Genealogists, and the National Genealogical Society.
