Julie Cahill Tarr’s Summary

I am the owner of Design Write Communications in Central Illinois. I provide writing and graphic design services to medium-sized businesses across the country. To stay current on communication trends, I am a member of the International Association of Business Communicators and the Society for Technical Communication.

In addition to my career, I am very passionate about studying my family history and ancestry. Although I have been interested since childhood, I only seriously began my research in 2007. To advance my genealogy knowledge-base, I hold memberships in the National Genealogical Society and the Illinois State Genealogical Society, and am a charter member of The Association of Graveyard Rabbits.
