I am passionate about genealogy. I focus my work on lecturing, writing and client work. I love to share what knowledge I have gained with others by lecturing on topics on methodology, research and ethnic groups. Another way to share that knowledge is by writing, which I practice every day. Most often my genealogy clients are trying to solve a particular family question or prove (or not!) a tradition. There is no more satisfying aspect of my work than seeing someone as excited as I am about their family history.

- Testimonials
- "I highly recommend [Jill] as a speaker for your event. Jill is organized and meticulous in her research and preparation. She is a thoughtful and engaging presenter and pauses along the way to emphasis and reinforce key points. Jill would approach teaching a one-day seminar or a one-hour lecture with the same thoroughness and dedication she does with everything. I have no doubt the event would be one of full of new information, developing better research skills and an emphasis on producing reproducible, quality genealogy. Jill would be a wonderful speaker for any genealogy event!" - Cary Bright, Seattle
