Fitzsimons & Donovan combine a rigorous academic training, with almost 25 years working in the field of family history. As graduate students passionate about their discipline, they set up a campus company within the School of History of their Alma Mater Trinity College Dublin.
As a practitioner, Fiona has led the Eneclann research team to investigate over 15,000 individual research commissions. Research credits include multiple episodes of Who do you think you are (2005 to the present), PBS’s Finding your Roots & Faces of America, and the Genealogy Roadshow (U.S. edition).
Since 1999 Brian has project managed some of the largest archival and digitisation projects in Europe, and is responsible for the online publication of tens of millions of Irish records, including the Roman Catholic parish registers for www.irishgenealogy.ie Parish records / Courts of Petty Sessions / Prison registers etc. on www.findmypast.com, Griffith’s Valuation for www.askaboutireland.ie.
Their combined experience has given them a unique understanding of how to incorporate a wider range of historical records into family history research, through online and archival research.
