Friedrick Eiler – Building an Identity from Scant Clues
Jill Morelli
Jill Morelli, CG is a “Roots” genealogist, becoming interested in family history in the 1970’s with the Alex Haley show. At that time, she just collected “stuff.” After a hiatus during which she had a family and volunteered in her community, Jill came back to genealogy with a vengeance in February 2002 and a total commitment to “doing it right.” She attended conferences, institutes and read articles that would improve her skills as a genealogist.
Jill Morelli lectures and writes on genealogical topics that often transcend the more narrowly defined family history. She provides general genealogy services and house histories in the Puget Sound and national venues. She has spoken before large (300+) and small groups and is an engaging and entertaining speaker who conveys genealogical concepts suitable to the level of the audience. She has been previously published in local, regional and national publications.
Jill is an architect by vocation, working for the University of Washington’s School of Medicine and has lectured across the country.
Jill writes frequently at her blog ‘Genealogy Certification: A Personal Journey’ about her educational efforts to become a certified genealogist. http://genealogycertification.wordpress.com.
