Amy Mitchell has worked in creative industries as a production manager, graphics producer and writer/editor. She has also taught undergraduate level courses in a variety of film studies topics. It wasn’t until the pandemic, when she took her first DNA test for something fun to do, that her interest in genealogy began. Since then, her research has become an obsession as she not only uncovered the origin town of her family surname, but traced her mother’s side back to the Puritan migration in the late 1600s.
