” U.S. Naturalization: The Records, the Laws, and the Impact”
Irene B. Walters came to Houston’s Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research from New York in 1997 after receiving her librarian degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She has given talks to many groups on various aspects of genealogical research including: computers, the internet, ancestors in the modern military, using newspapers for your research, passenger list searching, naturalization records, New York State, Irish, and French research.
Houston Public Library’s Clayton Library is an international resource in Houston. As well as helping researchers at the library, Irene coordinates the acquisition of new materials for the library, and gives talks on many aspects of genealogical research both in person and online. Irene’s own genealogy research has taken her lines back through New York state into France, Ireland, and Germany. Though, like all families some ancestors are being more difficult.
