ABOUT ME
Introduction
Claudia Sudweeks is the research manager for a niche genealogy company. She is currently working to earn her AG credentials in the Mid-Atlantic region and is the UGA secretary. She grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, where she learned to love history and historic preservation.
She has loved genealogy as long as she can remember – loving a teacher who gave a family tree assignment, treasuring a family trip to Canada where she listened to stories from her great grandmother’s sisters, traipsing through cemeteries finding ancestors as a teenager, and learning when her family visited the Sturgis Library, in Barnstable, Massachusetts, that it was the home of her ninth great grandfather.
Claudia took genealogy classes in college and has helped others with family history in the 30+ years since, professionally taking clients since 2010. She and her husband, Sterling, also ran a small video biography company. They raised their family mostly in Highland, Utah. They have six children, plus three gained by children’s marriages, and a number of bonus children who have lived with them over the years. They also have five wonderful grandchildren, plus some extras.
