Meet Colleen, Project Manager for Legacy Tree Genealogists

Meet Colleen, one of Legacy Tree Genealogists talented project managers!

Ever since Colleen Stutz was a little girl, she has had a love for Family History and Genealogy. Even as a child at Thanksgiving with extended family, she was the only one who could keep the relationships straight and explain how everyone was related to each other.

In her own Family History research, Colleen has solved several brick walls that seemed impossible. Her ancestors came from Germany, Norway, Sweden, England, Ireland, and France. She has been actively researching her own Family History for over 27 years and has kept up on all of the digital changes. She loves taking Family History Research trips and trying to see the world through her ancestors’ eyes.

In her professional life, Colleen has a degree in Family History Research from BYU-Idaho. She also earned an Accreditation® in Midwest Research through ICAPGen(SM). This credential requires a rigorous testing process as well as regular renewals. Colleen’s professional experience includes teaching Family History courses for BYU-I, working as a genealogy researcher, and working as a Family History Coach by identifying biological parents for adoptees and breaking down brick walls with clients.

Colleen is skilled at working with people and creating connections with clients. Her warm personality and love for genealogy are two things that clients have loved the most about working with her. She loves people and family history. By combining the two as a Project Manager for Legacy Tree, she gets the best of both worlds!

Colleen and her husband have 6 children (three at home, and three grown) and 2 dogs. She loves Disney, traveling, reading mysteries, and listening to true crime podcasts.
