My name is Megan I. Culbert. I am a genealogist and the founder and owner of Little Owl Genealogy. I earned a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam and a Master of Arts in History Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program at SUNY Oneonta. I also earned a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University's Center for Professional Education.

My experience includes working as an associate curator at a museum, where I curated several exhibitions, and as a research assistant at a research library, where I conducted local history and genealogy research for patrons. I have also conducted freelance research and writing for a genealogical organization. My volunteer experience has included curating exhibitions for a local historical society and judging students' history projects at New York History Day.

My interest in genealogy was first sparked as a child, reading a book that my maternal great-grandmother wrote about her life and her family history. Relatives on both sides of my family conducted invaluable research on various branches of my family tree long before I was born. Both of my parents have continued that important work and instilled in me a passion for history and genealogy.

I am a member of the following genealogical organizations:

• Association of Professional Genealogists

• National Genealogical Society

• New York Genealogical & Biographical Society

• Capital District Genealogical Society
