The Traveling Genealogist®

The Traveling Genealogist® is you, me, and every genealogist who heads out to a courthouse, archive, museum, cemetery, or any other place we might travel to research our family members.

This journal will chronicle my findings in the repositories I visit. I frequently travel to the National Archives, Archives 1 (DC), Archives 2 (MD), and other repositories for myself and clients. While I don’t get to share my client’s interesting findings (unless I have permission), I do get to share the neat things I find while poking around in the archives. Not everything I find is for a family member. As a genealogy speaker and lecturer at historical societies, conferences, DAR meetings, and genealogy institutes, I am always on the lookout for interesting examples.

Join me and follow my exciting discoveries while poking around in historical records.
