About Our Company:
Track My Origins is a New York-based genealogy research firm dedicated to helping individuals rediscover their heritage. We believe that every family carries a unique story, often hidden behind the barriers of time, geography, and language. We specialise in Irish and U.K. heritage but can help individuals and families track their origins throughout the world.
By combining meticulous archival research with specialised linguistic expertise, we help bridge the gap between your present and your ancestors' past, providing a clear window into the lives of those who came before you.
About Me:
My name is Amy Ramada, and I am a certified genealogist and historian. I am the lead researcher and owner of Track My Origins. I am a proud Irish American with a Bachelor’s degree in Historical Studies and a Master’s in Education, I hope to bring my expertise to every family project that my team and I work on.
Tracking your origins is a passion of ours; we work diligently, professionally and meticulously to provide you with the information and knowledge that your family has been yearning to discover.
Prior Media and Projects:
- The My Adopted Soldier Project.
As a co- researcher for the acclaimed documentary My Adopted Soldier, I helped bring the forgotten stories of 32 WW1 soldiers back to their home villages in Ireland. We travelled throughout Ireland, France and Belgium to bring this project to fruition. This project serves as the foundation for the meticulous heart- centered research and deep historical passion I now bring to every client at Track My Origins.
- Lance Corporal Joseph Bohan O’Shea Research and analysis.
This research campaign spanned generations, involving this lance corporal’s private diary from the early 1900’s, medals of honour, personal memoirs and family relationships. His living ancestors were traced to Waterford, Ireland, and his childhood home (which I personally visited) is still standing today.
- Grave research and family tracing
Beyond digital records, our work often takes us into the field to conduct on-site grave research. By locating and documenting final resting places, we are often able to uncover vital clues that bridge the gap between historical figures and their living descendents.
- Black 47′ Irish Famine Project
This project delved deep into the year 1847 and the dramatic decline of the Irish population due to death and mass immigration. This research specifically studied the long-term effects the imprint has left on the Irish people of today, almost 150 years later.
