The Published Works of Joanne Chiles Eakin
Genealogical Historian & Author

With 40 Years of experience in Historical and Genealogical Research, Joanne has written and published 37 books dealing with the Civil War, Jackson County Court records and the genealogies of various families. The author works as an independent archivist, document preservationist, genealogical and historical researcher, historical compiler and author. Currently, the author serves as Editor of The Blue & Grey Chronicle, President, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and Editor of The Kansas City Genealogist. Formerly, she has served as the Historian for The Jackson County Historical Society and Past President of Heart of America Genealogical Society,

Web Author Note: Joanne Chiles Eakin is a modest woman with a heart of gold. She has forgotten more about the Chiles family, the Civil War era and other significant historical facts than we will ever know. We are very proud to have her contributions and consultations regarding the Henry Chiles family genealogical research and our website. She has done so much, for so many, through documentation, education and historical enlightenment. Thanks, Joanne.
