About the Speaker
Patti Huff Smith’s passion for her family history began when her then 15-year-old son developed an enthusiasm for the Civil War. The two of them began searching for documentation of their Civil War Veterans. This ignited a passion for genealogy research which has grown with each new, fascinating discovery.
With the assistance of her 93-year-old grandmother and the genealogy community, Patti has learned research techniques, attended genealogy conferences, and workshops to expand her understanding of genealogy and DNA. At this time, Patti is managing 52 of her family DNA kits. She has applied her knowledge to equip others in their own journey.
