About the presenter
Marian Pierre-Louis is a genealogical writer and speaker who specializes in southern New England research (Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts). Born and raised in Connecticut, she has lived in Massachusetts for almost 20 years. Marian has three generations of recent family ties to Rhode Island and also links to some very old Rhode Island lines. As a result, these three states have become the focus of her research activity. Unlike most genealogists, Marian is spoiled to spend most of her time working with original records. You will most often find her researching at a town hall, registry of deeds, probate court or the local cemetery. It’s a rare day that Marian has to sit in front of a microfilm reader.
Marian is actively engaged in social media. You can find her starting conversations on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. She frequently speaks on New England topics including house history research, social media, African American research and a broad range of genealogical topics. She is the author of several blogs including: Marian's Roots & Rambles and The New England House Historian. She is the host of the new Internet radio show, Fieldstone Common. Listen to her each Thursday at www.blogtalkradio.com/FieldstoneCommon. Her website is www.FieldstoneHistoricResearch.com.
She is the author of:
- Ten Brick Wall Tips for Intermediate Researchers webinar-on-CD
- Plan Your Way to Research Success
- Ten Brick Wall Tips for Beginners
- Pilgrims and Patriots: Discover Your Massachusetts Ancestors
- Brick Walls: Cracking the Case of Nathan Brown's Parents
- Researching Your Connecticut Ancestors
Her webinar CDs can be found here.
