Ann Raymont, CG®

ProGen Member Overview

Ann holds a Certified Genealogist® credential and serves on the Board of Trustees for the BCG Education Fund. She has a bachelor’s degree in history from Indiana University and earned a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University. She has also completed an 18-month program in professional genealogy (ProGen) and numerous other courses in genetic and traditional genealogy.

Ann is one of the founders of the Central Indiana DNA Interest Group, and she enjoys giving presentations and workshops on genealogy and on incorporating DNA to expand our research. In addition, she has published genealogy articles and maintains a website and monthly blog at DNAsleuth.wordpress.com.

In ProGen, Ann developed a personal mission statement to “Prove, Preserve, and Share” family history. In that spirit, she recently qualified her first DAR line. Ann’s current goal is to apply that mission statement to her genealogy and ensure that kin close and distant, now and in generations to come, have accurate information about their shared roots and know their families’ stories too.

When not digging up ancestors (metaphorically speaking!), Ann does volunteer research for the Westfield-Washington Township Historical Society and Indiana’s Underground Railroad Initiative.
