My last post was about me going to work at Ancestry.com’s ProGenealogists as a professional genealogist in 2018. That department is where people can hire an Ancestry genealogist to help with their family research. I first worked on the New England team and got to dive into early, EARLY, New England records, which was incredibly fun and rewording. From there, I moved into genetic genealogy, which was what I had been striving for. I worked on the DNA team and helped people find their biological family until I left the company in 2024. The work was very rewarding, but also at times quite difficult, as one can imagine.

My time at Ancestry definitely honed my research and writing skills and I am ready to put those skills to work for clients! I am still working out some kinks with the website but I do plan to begin blogging once more, or at least, create useful tips for genealogical research.

I am very glad to be back and look forward to becoming a part of this world once again!
