Meet the Workshop Instructor

Cindy Selensky Foster is a genealogist with over 40 years of experience “hunting dead people” and some living cousins as well! Her interest piqued when, as an 8-year-old, she met her 2^nd great aunt. One-hundred-year-old Ella McCartney Selensky was born at the close of the Civil War. Cindy was intrigued by the fact that Ella’s father voted for Abraham Lincoln and was intrigued to learn more about her living at that time. Her journey has led her to discover farmers, preachers, inventors, gold miners, Russian immigrants, patriots of the Revolution, Civil War veterans, and a few scoundrels as well.  With over twenty-five years of teaching experience, she looks forward to helping launch your journey into discovering and documenting the people in your family tree.
