Patricia's passion for genealogy began in childhood while visiting cemeteries with her grandmother Ruth and uncle Fran. In 2006, she confirmed her family's connection to Col. Timothy Bigelow and established a lineage to American Revolutionary Patriot Andrew Bigelow through the Daughters of the American Revolution in 2008. In 2020, Patricia's research led to the discovery of Mayflower ancestors, and she was admitted as a lifetime member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants in 2021 after establishing her lineage to Mayflower passenger James Chilton. She completed formal training through the National Genealogical Society and earned a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University before opening her professional genealogy research business.
