Meet Katrina, Project Manager for Legacy Tree Genealogists

Katrina Wilkins became entranced with learning her family’s history from a young age. While visiting her paternal grandfather, she would listen to him tell stories about their Civil War ancestors. As she began to work with him, she fell in love with researching her family and learning everything she could about their lives. With family roots in New England, Ireland, England and Quebec, Katrina finds great joy in exploring her lineage and visiting the places where her ancestors lived. She loves learning about the homes and communities of her relatives and looking at old maps to pinpoint their farms and places of industry.

Her foray into the professional world of genealogy began at Brigham Young University, where Katrina earned her degree and studied religious history, family history and digital history. She has worked most of her adult life in the genealogy industry including at the BYU Family History Library, FamilySearch, and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Katrina has refined her expertise in genealogical research through over 14 years of combined professional, personal, and volunteer family history experience.

In addition to her work in the genealogy industry, Katrina has managed two family-owned businesses where she fostered creativity, meaning, and connection in her community. These ventures also gave her invaluable experience in managing teams of employees and working one-on-one with individual patrons.

Katrina and her husband Aaron are the proud parents of a baby girl, who is their greatest joy. Together, they enjoy camping, going on walks, reading, traveling, and spending time with their extended family.

Katrina is excited and eager to help you have the best possible experience as you partner with Legacy Tree Genealogists to discover and connect with your family!
