About Me

James Carroll
jcarroll@byu.net

Intermediate family history researcher with significant experience in computer technology.

Past research for my family history includes 19th century Somerset, England.

Recently finding joy in assisting others in researching their family history.

I would like to learn how to perform a focused search for a particular fact. For example, "If I know an ancestor's name and birth date, what is a good way to search for a death date?" or, "If I know a person's birth and death date, what is a good way to search for a spouse?"

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
