Debra Carter has worked with Ancestry Pro Genealogists in London since its inception in January last year. Her main areas of expertise are England and Australia, although she also researches Ireland, the United States, Canada and Norway. She is particularly interested in the movement of people between those countries and women's stories within that. Prior to working with ProGen, Debra owned and operated her own genealogy business in both London and Melbourne, teaching adult's genealogy, researching for private clients and volunteering at a local historical society. Her love of genealogy stemmed from her mother's interest and early research which she took over around ten years ago. Her genealogical education includes the Advanced Diploma in Local History from Oxford University and distinction completion of the Certificate in Family History from the Society of Australian Genealogists. Debra is also a full member of AGRA, the Association of Genealogists & Researchers in Australia.

Minister for the Diaspora Ciarán Cannon, T.D.
Welcome to the October Global Irish Newsletter. 

The last few months have a busy period and I have been fortunate to have visited Irish communities in America and Britain. I also have a full schedule of events ahead and it is my goal to meet more Irish communities no matter where they are in the world.

I and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have also been busy responding to input received from Irish organisations and from the second Global Irish Civic Forum. As such, over the last few weeks, I was pleased to be able to launch the first Diaspora Directory and at the same time approve funding for a record number of applications for the Emigrant Support Programme. There is still much to do in the months ahead and to keep up to date on this work follow us on Twitter or visit the Global Irish Hub. 

Is mise le meas,
Ciarán Cannon
