Lynn Broderick, also known as the Single Leaf, is a writer by birth, a teacher by profession, and a researcher by passion. She enjoys researching individuals of the past in the context of family, community, and social history.
She began her formal genealogical education at the age of 15 and she has been mentored by many noted genealogists over the years. She has been called “a gifted teacher” and is someone who can take that which is complex and simplify it for greater understanding. At the invitation of a university professor, she developed a successful curriculum for teaching beginning genealogy. She also was invited to mentor university students in Southern European genealogy. She currently researches at the FamilySearch Library, university libraries, and archives throughout the United States.
In 2013, she started this blog, “The Single Leaf,” and she has been official RootsTech Media every year since 2014. Lynn has occasionally written for the FamilySearch and RootsTech blogs. When asked to develop a way to engage more men in genealogy, she combined her childhood memories of NFL football and her own genealogical football moment while listening to a college game to develop genealogy football. In 2019 she created Henry the Sleuth, the one and only genealogy sloth, whose stories follow their investigations and adventures.
Over the years she has been a member of many societies and associations to support as many as possible in their good work. She champions genealogy ethics & standards in the community.
If you have a question, need a recommendation, or would like research assistance contact her. Although she has a waitlist for a variety of genealogy projects & services, she is happy to consult with you!
