She also owns 1918FluStories.com, where she shares family stories about the 1918 flu pandemic. She loves social history and medicine (perhaps due to working as a statistician in medical research for over 25 years) and helping genealogists bring their ancestors to life via understanding social and historical context. Current research includes colonial medicine, professional medical training and career opportunities for women in late 19th and early 20th century Utah, life in 19th century Utah, and the 1918 flu pandemic and its effect on families.
