Join us on Tuesday, October 29th at 1:00 pm for a deep dive into researching your Swedish Family History with Maureen Brady. Swedish records provide a rich resource for identifying your Swedish ancestors.

This presentation will include a brief historical overview, naming patterns and customs, finding the Swedish parish, parish records, online resources and research libraries.

Maureen Brady, a former school librarian and computer educator, has forty years’ experience with family history research. She has traced her Scottish roots back to the end of the 17th century and beyond, and has also pursued Chicago and the Midwest, the trans-Allegheny U.S., Quebecois, Irish and Swedish research. Maureen has made numerous presentations to genealogical societies, libraries, conferences and workshops throughout the U. S., as well as presenting for the Brigham Young University Library family history webinar series.

She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and a life member of the Aberdeen and Northeast Scotland Family History Society and the Ohio, Chicago and McHenry County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies. Maureen is also active in the Kentucky, Middle Tennessee and Lake County (Illinois) Genealogical Societies, the British Interest Group of Wisconsin & Illinois, and the Chicago Scots Scottish Genealogical Society.

Cost for the presentation is $10.00 donation in support of the Erlander Home Museum. Call 815-963-5559 to RSVP or email museum@swedishhistorical.org.
