• Family History Research

I have been interested in genealogy since 2004. I am a current instructor at the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society in Medford, Oregon. I graduated from the Salt Lake City Community College Genealogy Certificate Program in 2016. Since that time I have completed Professional Genealogy (ProGen) Study Group 43 and Mastering Genealogical Proof (GenProof) Study Group 64 in 2021. In August 2021, I became a Certified Genealogist through the Board for Certified Genealogists (BCG).
