Lisa Dougherty, Irish Genealogist to Speak in Agawam, MA

The Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society meets on the first Wednesday of every month from September to June.  Tomorrow night, WMGS is sponsoring Lisa Dougherty's presentation focusing on researching your Irish ancestors. Browse her website at this link.

I've mentioned Lisa's appearance in earlier posts.   Coincidentally, Global Genealogy has put together a web page of many volumes of books and CD's on Irish genealogical research.  Click this link and take a look!   If you're an Irish researcher or just have Irish ancestors, some of these volumes might be of interest.  The featured book is "The Famine Ships, The Irish Exodus to America" by Edward Laxton.

If you're in or around Agawam, Mass on Wednesday night, stop by the Agawam Senior Center on Main St around 6 PM for some coffee, some conversation and the Lisa Dougherty presentation.  You might even consider taking a membership.  It's only $20 a year.  Not only are you invited to our monthly meetings, members can take part in our Genealogy Research workshops held on the 3rd and 4th Thursday of the month during our season.
