  • Caron Primas Brennan loves history, biography, puzzles and a good mystery, which makes her perfectly suited to genealogy research!  A 6th grade school project got her interested in researching her own family tree.

    Caron belongs to several local and regional genealogy groups as well as being a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.  She is currently Facilitator for the Chicago Region of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG).  She previously held Board positions at the Illinois State Genealogical Society, the Chicago Genealogical Society and CAGGNI (the Computer-Assisted Genealogy Group of Northern Illinois).  She has been speaking at libraries, including the Newberry Library in Chicago, and genealogical societies for over ten years with consistently excellent feedback.
