Gerard Neary

Gerard Neary

About

Gearóid O’Neary is a genealogist and writer.

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Gearóid is a writer, and the nom de plume and the alter-ego of Gerard Neary, the genealogist.

Gearóid would prefer to while away his days writing stories about all manner of things he observes, some daft and some with serious overtones. On the other hand, Gerard gets emotionally engrossed in researching our ancestors, and then compassionately distributes his findings in private. Gearóid gives him a break now and again, usually dragging him off to the village inn to partake in parish gossip, or to put the world to rights in mildly-heated political debates. Both of them have a sense of humour.

Gearóid is a dreamer. Gerard pays the bills.

<ul style="margin:1.12em 0px 1.12em 20px;padding:0px;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">&quot;This is a highly enjoyable best-selling and fast-moving account of a <b><i>real-life</i></b> ancestry research project, set in both the present (the researcher's world) and the past via excerpts from the ancestors' lives. The twists and turns come thick and fast, meaning that confusion leads to instant clarifications, and a desire to know what happens next ... and then more twists occur.&quot; - <i>Susan at Goodreads</i></li> </ul>
