As a book editor and a dedicated genealogy researcher, Regan has found that these two disciplines share remarkable similarities. Both require meticulous attention to detail, a deep appreciation for storytelling, and a relentless pursuit of accuracy. In many ways, Regan feels that her experience with genealogy has made her a better editor, enhancing her ability to shape narratives and uncover the heart of every story.

She is currently a Co-Managing Editor of Generations, the quarterly journal of the Minnesota Genealogical Society and the Managing Editor of The Arkansas Family Historian, the quarterly journal of the Arkansas Genealogical Society. Both journals accept articles on a rolling basis.

Regan is also the editor of AAHGS News, the quarterly newsletter for the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society.

She is also the lead researcher for a genealogy company. Their client work brings them around the world, while their historical research projects have a Minnesota focus.
