About this webinar
It’s hard to do genealogy well without studying your ancestors’ Friends & Family, Associates, and Neighbors - their FAN club. If your ancestors are Irish, you might have no luck at all without those FAN principles. But if you combine FAN club research with DNA, you might have just the winning ticket to get you back to your Irish ancestor’s origins. In this case study presentation, learn how focused research pointed the way from Ohio to townlands in County Mayo for an 1850s-era Irish immigrant.

I was every informative.
Very informative. Easy to follow the presenter as she followed the breadcrumbs.
plain language no jargon used, I liked following along with the speaker basically explaining the thought process.
This was excellent! I really appreciated the case study that she used and walked us through. Very helpful! It was a bonus for me because I have some Irish ancestors that I haven't done much with yet so this gave me some great tips!
Provided many useful hints about searching for neighbors in the census and searching several pages before and after for FAN club members. Also county histories could be a great help.
Brings home importance of looking at the neighbors and revisiting sources & documents. I made notes of records to visit again.
Great job! Many good ideas
Interesting case study. I would have enjoyed hearing more specific recommendations for the process.
