“Where did my grandparents come from? Were they immigrants? What were their occupations? Were there, in fact, any truths to those tales grandma told?”

Questions like these are the ones Lesley Ann Gentry, the researcher behind Genealogy Chest, strives to answer. Stemming from a lifelong interest in learning about her own family heritage, Lesley has extensive experience in conducting ancestry inquiries. She completed the Boston University Genealogical Research Program (2014) and the Family History Skills and Strategies (Intermediate) course with Certificate from Pharos Teaching and Tutoring, UK.

We all have ancestors who tell a story about where we came from. Lesley works to bring these stories from the archives to your family tree.
