B. J. JAMIESON is the genealogy reference specialist at the Maine State Library, which lets her indulge her love of books and genealogy to an extent that she didn’t think was possible before she accepted the position.

When she isn’t tracing ancestors (her own and other people’s) she can be found knitting or playing with foster cats.
