Testimonials:
"Thank you for presenting an excellent lecture at our October meeting at the Chelmsford Library. It was both educational and entertaining. I have been to dozens of genealogy lectures but I can't think of one that was anything like it. You very cleverly hooked your audience with the story of Kilroy and led them through a search of his ancestral heritage. It was an interesting case study."
Tom M. Toohey Vice President The Irish Ancestral Research Association
"Mike’s presentation was insightful, informative, humorous, and rich in detail. If you have Gaelic roots, Mike can help you climb the family tree and explore all its branches"
Marie Stapleton, Boston MA
"I found Michael Brophy's program Genealogical Resources of the Archdioces of Boston educational and is a must attend, as church records can provide information not in Vital Records. I highly recommend taking in this program the next chance it is available."
Tim Firkowski-President New England Chapter, Association of Professional Genealogists
