Paul Duffey has been doing genealogy research off and on for the past 21 years. He has found numerous living relatives and received helpful family information from them. He and his wife and granddaughters have visited relatives in Germany, and Paul & Mary Lou visited relatives in Ireland. Within the limitations of currently available documentation, he has traced his ancestors back to Adam & Eve.

Paul has done his DNA but found no close relatives. He taught our DNA SIG for about 5 years, and the Saturday Help session for about 4 years. He has self-published 3 books of family history. He is currently working on organizing his genealogy information to record on DVDs for his children and grandchildren. He retired last year after 14 years as Arizona State Society Genealogist for Sons of the American Revolution. He has given genealogy talks in Tucson, Green Valley, Saddlebrook, Rancho Vistoso, Casa Grande, Yuma, Colorado Springs, Gilbert, Peoria, and Mesa.
