As a genealogist, I can..

• Identify ancestors through records, documents, and DNA matches, including adoption and unknown parentage.
• Reconstruct fragmented family lines by cross-referencing census data, cemetery records, and heir and probate records.
• Locate and transcribe original deeds, wills, and land grants.
• Provide insight into historical context.
• Assist in lineage research, heir research, and interpreting DNA results.
• Trace family history using primary and secondary sources and analyze historical documents, records, and archives.

• I built strong relationships and worked effectively with students, staff, administration, and the families of our students.
• Supported special education teachers in implementing accommodations and modifications for students.
• Promoted a respectful classroom culture by modeling appropriate behavior and reinforcing positive interactions.
• Kept organized records.
