Welcome to the Ancestry Nerd YouTube channel.

My name is Katherine Hewitt. I am the principal genealogist at AncestryNerd.com. I love solving family mysteries with genealogy, DNA, and internet sleuthing skills.

I created the AncestryNerd YouTube channel to inspire people to learn about their family history.

My mission is to get people excited to explore their family history.

The goal is to teach people how to solve family mysteries using DNA, how to identify intergenerational trauma, and how to heal by connecting with their ancestors. By discovering our ancestor’s lives, we come to know ourselves on a deeper level.

Connecting with our ancestor’s stories can heal our mind, body, and soul. Knowing our ancestors completes us in unimaginable ways.

Currently accepting genealogy clients for 2022. If you'd like to be added to the waiting list, please contact me through my website with details about your case. Thank you.
