My name is Dan Lynch, one of the few technology marketing professionals focused on family history and genealogy products, services, and markets for nearly three decades.

With more than 40 years experience in many facets of genealogy research, my technology experience rests on a sound foundation of understanding the issues faced by family historians around the world.

My work has included writing for leading family history publications and an award-winning book (Google Your Family Tree), presentations at international, national and local conferences, television appearances and newspaper interviews, and research conducted through a variety of record sources and original archives. In addition, I have taught classes and hosted workshops on a broad range of related topics.

From 1998 to 2001, I served as vice president at Ancestry and have consulted to The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation (ellisisland.org), FindMyPast (findmypast.com), FamilySearch (familysearch.org), and others. My prior service also includes terms as vice president and board member for the Connecticut Society of Genealogists.
