Hey! I'm a hard-core genealogist (since 6th grade, pro for 23 years) who gets to wake up every day and solve history mysteries. 🕵️‍♀️ 🔎 How cool is that?!

My sleuthing has included books/articles, TV shows, Ancestry's Chief Family Historian, talks (43 states/6 countries!), and LOTS of forensic/cold case work (mostly military but also FBI, NCIS & police). More here: megansmolenyak.com
