Presented Virtually by Evan Wilson, Ancestry.com Professional Researcher

Evan Wilson grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, where he caught the genealogy bug as a child from listening to his grandmother’s stories of her family in small-town Mississippi. His studies took him to California, where he earned a PhD in English Literature and Medieval Studies in 2019. Along the way, he rediscovered his love of family history and decided to make the San Francisco Bay Area home. 

Evan is a Research Manager on the Southern U.S. team at AncestryProGenealogists, where he has worked for nearly three years. He specializes in Southern research, but he loves a good brick-wall case in almost any part of the United States, including New England. His interests include genealogical methodology, the connection between genealogy and history, and the use of AI to organize and analyze data. He also serves on the board of the California Genealogical Society.
