Debbie Duay, Ph.D.




Debbie Duay received her Ph.D. in Adult Education from Florida Atlantic University. Her dissertation focused on the perceptions of older adults about effective and ineffective learning experiences. She has over eight years of experience in genealogy, and she has taught numerous classes and workshops throughout Florida on researching family history. Her area of expertise is researching and documenting early American ancestry.

Currently, she is the Regent (President) of the Lighthouse Point Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Her husband, Ted Duay, is the President and Registrar of the Fort Lauderdale Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). Through Debbie’s research skills, her husband has proven his descent from 38 Revolutionary War patriots, a Mayflower passenger, King Edward I of England, and Charlemagne. Debbie has helped over 50 people join the DAR and SAR in the last 3 years, and the Broward County Historical Commission recently awarded her the Dr. Cooper Kirk Award for researching and transcribing cemetery, marriage, and other historical records pertaining to Broward County, Florida.
