Dennis Fitzgerald

Dennis Fitzgerald is passionate about helping people discover and preserve their family history. As the founder of Liahona Books, he writes clear, practical guides that make genealogy and DNA research accessible to everyone — from curious beginners to seasoned family historians.

Dennis brings decades of experience to his work, combining a love of storytelling with hands-on knowledge of genealogy tools like FamilySearch, Ancestry, and genetic testing. His books reflect his belief that everyone can uncover meaningful connections to their past with the right guidance and a little perseverance.

When he’s not writing, Dennis enjoys mentoring others, teaching workshops, and creating engaging podcasts and videos that inspire people to dive into their own family stories. A retired telephone technician, engineer, and entrepreneur, he’s also a husband, father of five, grandfather, and great-grandfather who values family above all.

Through his writing, Dennis hopes to help readers not only trace their roots but also feel the joy and pride of belonging to something bigger than themselves.
