On the record ... with Julie Dresser
SYCAMORE – Are you related to someone famous?
Julie Dresser, a Sycamore genealogist, is.
Born in Arizona, Dresser grew up in St. Charles, where she began studying genealogy at the age of 11 to find out if her family was actually related to President Andrew Jackson. Though she disproved that family myth, Dresser, who moved to Sycamore in 1987, discovered that she is descended from Abraham Lincoln, Nathan Hale and the real-life model for “The Scarlet Letter” character Hester Pine.
