Nathan will be speaking on the first day of the NERGC conference, April 1. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity by NERGC to interview him by email for this year’s conference. Nathan’s reputation in the genealogy world is that of a talented, personable, and humble man who loves genealogy and loves writing. Seconds later, several fans came by to meet him, so we retreated to give him time to give them his full attention. We came to Nathan’s RootsTech booth and all introduced ourselves to him. When I say I “met” Nathan, it would be more accurate to say I participated in a group hello with four other genie friends as we walked the RootsTech Expo Hall that year. Nathan had tapped into a genealogy niche that no one else I had ever met before had. The main character of the series was beloved Morton Farrier. At that time, he had several books released of a series of non-fiction novels, fondly pegged as the Forensic Genealogist series. In the genealogy realm, he was newly known for being a genealogical crime mystery author. Nathan is a British internationally acclaimed author. Nathan had broken into the genealogy world in a wonderful way I had never seen before. But meeting Nathan Dylan Goodwin at RootsTech a few years ago felt like an entirely different thing. I’ve met a lot of fellow genealogists during my 30 years of researching my family history. It might be Civil War history, Eastern European ancestry, or even DNA. Nathan Dylan Goodwin, Author, and GenealogistĮvery genealogist has some kind of specialty.

Octavia Butler was writing it in the early 1990s, and she was able to predict in 2021 - which is so eerily exact and surprising - that there would be a right-wing leaning presidential hopeful whose campaign slogan is 'Make America Great Again.'
