James Mahoney, born 1946 in The Bronx, NYC. I have been involved in genealogical research since I was a teenager in the mid-1960s. Educated in Roman Catholic parochial schools from grade school through college. I am professional librarian serving in public libraries since 1985, after a term from 1971-1979 in a seminary library and archives.

I am open to dialogue and collaboration with others on my family research and have also engaged in family research for a number of my friends and acquaintances.
