Sadie Nelson
ProGen Member Overview
I have over nine years of genealogical experience, both personal and professional. I have completed coursework through the National Genealogical Society and am currently a member of ProGen Study Group 63 (set to graduate in December 2023). I believe continuing education is vital to professional development, and I am set to join GenProof Study group in September 2023.
I present genealogy education classes through my local community board and various other organizations. I especially enjoy working with clients on an individual basis- I work with each client to create a tailored plan of action for all of their family history queries.
Education
University of Minnesota, Morris- B.A.
National Genealogical Society- "Continuing Genealogical Studies" (four-course series)
Experience
I have almost ten years of experience in both personal and professional genealogy. I have ample experience with American records (especially Midwestern and Northeastern regions), German-language records, and Austro-Hungary and Czech research. One of my favorite ways to personalize genealogical research is through family photographs- I have much experience analyzing and dating antique photographs, which can aid in the development of family trees. I am comfortable utilizing and analyzing DNA test results: In my personal research, I have helped solve multiple unknown-parent cases.
