Lisa Minogue was in the software industry for 30 years, then spent 6 years teaching computer science at the college level. Lisa has been researching her family history since the 1990s. Her father's line is Irish and Bohemian (Czech Republic). Her mother's line includes early colonial ancestors and others who came later from Britian and Wales. 
Lisa enjoys solving research problems, and likes to help people learn methods to research their own family history. Whether you're interested in learning about FamilySearch, Ancestory, Family Tree Software (Legacy Family Tree, Family Tree Maker, etc.), or simply getting an understanding of what other records are available, Lisa can help. Lisa is also available to pull records from area repositories. She makes a yearly trip to the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City as well as periodic trips to other libraries and archives (NARA, Wisconsin Historical Society).
