  • 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.  Her special areas of genealogical interest are Colonial America, Prussian, and Norwegian research along her family lines as well as related DNA projects.

    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 the Facilitator for the Chicago Region of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG).  Caron is a former Registrar for the National Society Daughters of the Revolution (DAR) and has held Board positions at the Illinois State Genealogical Society, the Chicago Genealogical Society and CAGGNI.  She has been teaching at the Newberry Library in Chicago and speaking at local libraries and genealogical societies for over fifteen years with consistently excellent feedback.
