Exploring Today's Technology
for Today's Genealogy

It’s an exciting time in genealogy with technology bringing so much to our fingertips. Yet things can become overwhelming and messy in this digital realm. AncestorTech® offers group and individual instruction or mentoring on navigating today's technology for today's genealogy. 

Technology was an accidental career path but supporting the technology used by historians to search, document, map, and visualize made me realize how valuable these tools could be to my own genealogical pursuits. AncestorTech® combines my twenty-plus years of IT support in higher education and my passion for genealogy.
