Bio

🍃 I work for Ancestry ®.
👣 They call me The Barefoot Genealogist.
📖 Family history can change your world.

This is not your grandma’s genealogy.

———🍃———

The stories of our ancestors live in us. When found and shared, they have the power to bring CONNECTION, RESILIENCE, and HEALING to each of us, to our families (past, present, and future), to our communities, and to the world.

Also, it’s just a fun challenge and puzzles to solve as you climb your family tree.

I teach people why and how to start a family tree and take an AncestryDNA ® test. Then, I show them how to use both to make amazing family history discoveries and turn those discoveries into stories they can share to create stronger families.

🎤 More than 2500 hours on the mic - on live stages and on camera - sharing family stories.

🎥 More than 10 million views on my YouTube genealogy education series.
