Program Description

Event Details

This program will recount the most recent chapter in the search for genealogical records and historical insights into the unique Puerto Rican-Irish family of the presenter. The search spans the past millennium in three nations and three historical eras - Puerto Rico during the Spanish colonial period, Spain and Portugal in the Renaissance era, and Iberia during the Middle Ages. Among the questions to be investigated are: What did I find? What are some highlights of this quest? How did I make these discoveries? And, what have I learned that can be of value to others as they search for their families?
