Jeffrey Castle

A native of Charleston, South Carolina, Jeff Castle grew up surrounded by history. Ironically, until his 30 s, he knew nothing of his own family s history. Beginning with what was planned to be a weekend project, over the next fifteen years Jeff discovered his many deep roots in South Carolina, the Appalachians, Colonial America, and even further to Scotland, Ireland, and Great Britain. This hobby became a passion which evolved into a career. As his knowledge of regional records expanded back in time and across many different areas of America and the British Isles, Jeff began working on others family histories and genealogical questions. He completed the rigorous Boston University Genealogical Research program and also received a certificate in Forensic Research from the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh. Jeff has attended multiple National Genealogical Society conferences and is a former editor of the Lowcountry Courier, the newsletter of the Charleston Chapter of the South Carolina Genealogical Society. He served as President of the Scottish Society of Charleston from 2016-2017. He is also a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogy Society, the South Carolina Historical Society, and the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History. In 2018, Jeff founded Castle Genealogy to meet the growing demands of his client base and to turn his full attention to a career in the field he loves, Genealogy.
