WHO ARE WE?
The Got Genealogy Academy is the brainchild of Lisa B. Lee, a professional genealogist and computer nerd, who has been researching her family’s history since 1970 (yes, she’s that old). Lisa decided to use her extensive computer expertise to show budding genealogists that, used properly, the internet can be a treasure trove of information, or a recurring nightmare if used improperly. She has memorized the entire internet by heart, and is a master of digging genealogical information out of the most unlikely sources. She’s happy to share all that she knows in her never ending quest to spread the gospel of Genealogy.
