About Me
I have been interested in genealogy ever since I was a child sitting on my Grandma's lap listening to old family stories. She taught her how to transcribe old records and input the data onto a DOS computer (the old ones from the 80s with a black screen and green font).
​
As a young college student I loved working on my own family line whenever I had a chance. I made a few trips to Salt Lake just to go through records at the Family History Library.
​
A few years ago, after spending many years raising my children, I went back to school to finish my degree. In the Spring of 2020 I graduated with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in genealogical research. I specialize in Forensic Genealogy, finding heirs for probate or real estate. I also volunteer for Unclaimed Persons, finding next-of-kin for unclaimed people.
In 2019 I worked as an intern for the Early British Census Project, with BYU Provo, which finds and transcribes pre-1841 British census records.
​
I am a member of the Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy, Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society and the New England Historic Genealogical Society.
