February Speaker is Mary Kircher Roddy (Monthly Meeting)
5:30 pm to 7:30 pm Virtual Meeting using ZOOM
Registration is Required, please register HERE
Meet and Greet at 5:30 PM, Speaker begins at 6:00 PM
Meeting Topic: Spreadsheets 201: Excel-lent Examples - Spreadsheets can help you in analyzing your data and keeping track of your research. Mary Roddy will present several examples of how to use this powerful tool to gain perspective and further your genealogy research.
Presenter: Mary Kircher Roddy
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. Two decades later, the genealogy is still a work in progress. But the trip to Ireland awakened something deep in her Celtic bloodlines, the Irish tradition of the Seanachi, the storytellers and historians of yore.
