Hannah is a US Researcher for Legacy Tree Genealogists. As a genealogist, she specializes in many areas including paleography, various regions of the United States, and genetic genealogy. Hannah became interested in genealogy when she contributed to the indexing of the 1940 US Census. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in family history/genealogy from Brigham Young University in 2021. In 2024, Hannah received a master’s degree in genealogical, paleographic, and heraldic studies from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Her master’s thesis was focused on genealogical research of inpatients of Oregon State Hospital who died by suicide from 1883 to 1936. Among those patients were individuals whose cremated remains were placed in copper canisters and were forgotten about until their re-discovery in 2004. Hannah is a proponent of openly discussing mental health challenges due to her own experiences, and she finds fulfillment in conducting genealogical research to bring to light the ups and downs of ancestors’ lives.
