ABOUT ME
Introduction
Margaret R. Fortier, CG, named after her grandmothers and inspired by her mother’s phenomenal memory, is a genealogical researcher, instructor, and writer.
The daughter of an immigrant, she focuses on French-Canadian, Italian, and Portuguese ancestry as well as Catholic records. She is a co-editor of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly and serves on the board of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG).
She holds a BS from Boston College and an MS in Human Factors in Information Design from Bentley University. Margaret is grateful that her husband’s French-Canadian Furkey ancestors changed their name back to Fortier.
