Owen M. McCafferty

Owen M. McCafferty started his genealogical research as a teenager, searching his maternal grandfather. What began as a simple search turned into a passionate search and lead him to become an accomplished researcher with a specialized interest and expertise in the ethnic Germans from southwestern Lithuania. In addition to founding the IAGL, Owen is also an active transcriber and translator for the IAGL’s online index of Lutheran church records from Lithuania, helping to index tens of thousands of records in an effort to help others learn more about their ancestor’s history.
