Lois Beard
ProGen Member Overview
Originally from the Chicago area, I now live in Arizona. A retired Army officer, I've lived many places in between, to include 20 years in the State of Washington. Like many, I spent many years as a genealogy hobbyist before discovering more professional study that I began in 2017.
Education
I hold bachelor and master degrees that are outside the genealogy world. My study of professional genealogy began at the University of Washington (2017) and continued with the Boston University's Genealogical Research program OL26 (Spring 2018), ProGen 40 (2020) and GenProof 66 (2021). I have attended several institute courses to include Gen-Fed (2017), SLIG (2019-21) and GRIP (2021).
Experience
My experience is limited to my own family research and that of family & friends. My focus has been in the U.S. MidWest and Poland.
