Event Summary
How do Latin grammar rules define the parties? Was your ancestor’s name changed? When you understand the basic format of Latin Catholic sacramental records you’ll be able to understand them whether they are from Ireland, Hungary, Slovakia, or the USA.
Mary Kircher Roddy, CG, CGG, 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. Two decades later, the genealogy is still a work in progress. But the trip to Ireland awakened something deep in her Celtic bloodlines.
Mary earned a certificate in Genealogy and Family History at the University of Washington in 2005. She was credentialed by the Board for Certification of Genealogists in 2019 and awarded the Certified Genetic Genealogist credential in 2024. She is co-editor of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly and a trustee of the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
She has published articles in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, NGS Magazine, Family Chronicle (now called Your Genealogy Today), Internet Genealogy, FGS Forum as well as society publications in the US, Australia, and Canada.
Mary frequently lectures in Washington state as well as at conferences across the US on methodology and records. She is one of the founders of the Applied Genealogy Institute.
