Family History Nerd

Jonah Ryan Barnes

Jonah is from the Pacific Northwest, where he owns and manages a commercial bakery. He has six children and a beautiful wife with whom he writes family history books. The Barneses are the founders of the Barnes Genealogy Society and Turning Little Hearts. Jonah specializes in Swedish, English and Colonial American genealogy. His hobbies include playing music, launching high-altitude balloons and giving noogies to unruly children. This is Jonah's third time at RootsTech and he hopes to still be attending even when he is just a brain in a jar on the dashboard of his great-great-grandchildren's flying car.
