Anne Gillespie Mitchell

Genealogy Product Manager

Writing / Publishing

I just recently completed the Boston University Online Genealogy Certificate course and I’m gearing up to attempt CG certification. I’ve worked in the internet industry in software and product manager for companies including CNET, Webshots and Excite@Home. I have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Purdue University, where I also taught Computer Science for 8 years. My passion for history and computers merged into a lifelong fascination of genealogy and developing advanced search techniques to carve important clues out of historical documents. I am a Product Manager at Ancestry.com and I write the Ancestry Anne column for Ancestry.com.
