Speaking

Title slide of Tracing Your Immigrant Ancestors
Title slide of Andiamo! Finding Your Italian Family
title slide of A Whole New World of Catholic Records

These are some of my popular presentations. I am available to present in person or via webinar. I provide all attendees with an evaluation form (if allowed by the sponsor) which is used to gauge how the presentation met their needs. My evaluation uses quantitative measures and allows the opportunity for qualitative feedback.

What Attendees Say

I learned so much! Your balance between history and how to research was perfect.

Thank you for being well-prepared, concise, clear, articulate, and persuasive!

Fantastic presentation! Loved it – learned some new things I’m eager to try.

I enjoyed this immensely and I found it fascinating. You presented a lot of info that I did not know. Your knowledge of Quebecois history was really interesting. 

Been researching for 5 years but still learned new information. Wonderful presentation.

Extremely informative. Handout is also a great complement to the presentation.
