We’re a little late but excited to introduce our newest board member and would like you to meet Nancy Casey, our new GeneaBloggers Secretary.

Nancy is a genealogical researcher and writer, who has been researching her family roots since the early 2000s. She began her award-winning blog Leaves on the Tree in 2018 to share her discoveries.

Nancy’s writing has also been featured in genealogical publications in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada. In addition, she edits the Denton County (Texas) Genealogical Society’s DCGS News; writes a monthly post for the Denton County Public Library’s genealogy and local history blog; and is a contributing editor and author for the Texas State Genealogical Society’s quarterly Stirpes.

She’s no stranger to serious research. Nancy is a member of the National Genealogical Society, state societies in Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, and Utah, and several societies in her research localities. Her genealogical education has included SLIG, TIGR, and state conferences in Texas and Ohio.

In addition to serving as GeneaBloggers Secretary, she serves as the Texas State Genealogical Society’s District B rep.

Nancy and her husband make their home in Tioga, Texas.

Asked what drew her to GeneaBloggers, she replied:

I was drawn to GeneaBloggers’ Facebook group, where I began to share my posts to receive feedback and comments. It’s wonderful to read other bloggers’ posts and encourage each other as we each seek to improve our writing.

That sense of community is something she’s like to see expand. She hopes to help grow the number of GeneaBloggers members.
