About Jennifer Dunn

I’ve been researching my own and others’ family history for more than 25 years, with a focus on poor and hard-to-find Southern ancestors. They’re the ones who left behind fewer records, not because they mattered less, but because poverty and circumstance kept them out of the usual sources.

Specializing in Southern US genealogy, I hold 3 firm beliefs:

1. Learn something new every day.
2. Nobody was “just a farmer.”
3. Everybody has a story worth telling.

Below send me a brief description of your genealogical problem and let’s get to work. For more about working with me, see “Services” and “How It Works.”
