"Genealogy butler As the genealogist-in-residence at the historic Shelbourne Dublin, A Renaissance Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, Helen Kelly helps guests trace their Irish heritage. She is a member of the Accredited Genealogists Ireland (AGI) and the former genealogy consultant for the National Archives, which makes her uniquely qualified to develop ancestral research plans and host guided trips to the city’s genealogical repositories. When tourists sign up for a one-on-one consultation with Kelly, they answer basic questions about their relatives: What were their names? What did they do for a living? Do they know when they were born, what year they died, or how many children they had? Guests comb their memories for as much info as they can and Kelly takes it from there, fleshing out their backstories using family records and maps. Some hotel guests take their quest one step further, visiting the actual townships from whence their ancestors came." - Ashlea Halpern
