My love of history, my genealogical research skills, and my 27 years as an English teacher meld together to allow you to “meet” your ancestors, learn about their lives, and see yourself reflected in their experiences. I take on the cost and time of genealogical research, add a heaping dose of passion, and discover the lives of your ancestors so that their stories can be retold for you, your family, and future generations. 

Once the genealogical research is complete, it is time to transform the facts and figures of each direct ancestor into the chronological narrative of their life. Each of your direct ancestors’ lives is reconstructed in either an ancestral portfolio or a family history book. Historical contexts, on a local and national scale, provide depth to your ancestors’ experiences. Pictures of their home, newspaper articles, a map of their village’s location, a reproduced letter your family member wrote, their signature on a document, or the Census record of the family - these are just some of the items that help turn facts and dates into a complete picture of what your ancestors’ experienced.

In 2004, I began working as a professional genealogist. That happened somewhat unexpectedly while I was attending college. People began asking if they could hire me and I created my own business not really knowing what I was doing. Before long, I found myself busy enough that I could commit to being a full-time professional genealogist!

In 2007, I joined forces with a few colleagues to help build ProGenealogists, a private genealogy firm based in Salt Lake City. In 2008, we found a place working with Ancestry on the  series “Who Do You Think You Are?” Then, in 2010, our firm was acquired by Ancestry and I continued to be apart of company until June 2022.

During my years at Ancestry, I had the privilege of conducting research for hundreds of clients in nearly every part of the globe, as well as traveling and speaking at many conferences and private events. I acted as an Ancestry spokesperson on numerous occasions for various PR and marketing campaigns (including a fun appearence on The Jimmy Kimmel Show). Most notably, though, I directed research work for many of the episodes of “Who Do You Think You Are?” through its final season. I was honored to appear as a guest genealogist in 15 of the episodes (the most of any other contributor in the U.S. series).

In 2004, I began working as a professional genealogist. That happened somewhat unexpectedly while I was attending college. People began asking if they could hire me and I created my own business not really knowing what I was doing. Before long, I found myself busy enough that I could commit to being a full-time professional genealogist!

In 2007, I joined forces with a few colleagues to help build ProGenealogists, a private genealogy firm based in Salt Lake City. In 2008, we found a place working with Ancestry on the  series “Who Do You Think You Are?” Then, in 2010, our firm was acquired by Ancestry and I continued to be apart of company until June 2022.

During my years at Ancestry, I had the privilege of conducting research for hundreds of clients in nearly every part of the globe, as well as traveling and speaking at many conferences and private events. I acted as an Ancestry spokesperson on numerous occasions for various PR and marketing campaigns (including a fun appearence on The Jimmy Kimmel Show). Most notably, though, I directed research work for many of the episodes of “Who Do You Think You Are?” through its final season. I was honored to appear as a guest genealogist in 15 of the episodes (the most of any other contributor in the U.S. series).

I am Anne Powers, now a professional, independent genealogist and researcher, but once a child with muddy knees. I grew up in Scotland with a Scottish father and an English mother, and I now live in Derbyshire.

While I work mainly with British records it is also possible to track families who emigrated to North America and the then British Empire. I also have experience with records of British colonists in Jamaica.

As a result of discovering a previously unknown family connection with Jamaica I have researched a number of similar families, mainly with eighteenth century colonial connections to the island. You can read about this and some of the discoveries I have made on my associated website www.aparcelofribbons.co.uk.

In 2004, I began working as a professional genealogist. That happened somewhat unexpectedly while I was attending college. People began asking if they could hire me and I created my own business not really knowing what I was doing. Before long, I found myself busy enough that I could commit to being a full-time professional genealogist!

In 2007, I joined forces with a few colleagues to help build ProGenealogists, a private genealogy firm based in Salt Lake City. In 2008, we found a place working with Ancestry on the  series “Who Do You Think You Are?” Then, in 2010, our firm was acquired by Ancestry and I continued to be apart of company until June 2022.

During my years at Ancestry, I had the privilege of conducting research for hundreds of clients in nearly every part of the globe, as well as traveling and speaking at many conferences and private events. I acted as an Ancestry spokesperson on numerous occasions for various PR and marketing campaigns (including a fun appearence on The Jimmy Kimmel Show). Most notably, though, I directed research work for many of the episodes of “Who Do You Think You Are?” through its final season. I was honored to appear as a guest genealogist in 15 of the episodes (the most of any other contributor in the U.S. series).
