Rebecca Baggaley
Biography
Rebecca has a B.S. in Family History-Genealogy from BYU and has been researching her family history off and on for about twenty years. Her ancestors immigrated to the U.S. between 1620 and 1856, and lived in more than 30 different states. Hence, she has done research in every region of America and is fascinated by the historical and cultural differences. Rebecca taught classes in the Family History Computer Lab at BYU and was a researcher with a professional genealogy company for a short time before she had children. She currently serves as a ward family history consultant (again) and homeschools her five children, ages 1-10.
