Genealogy Research

We can help you weave together the story of your family.

Our families past history communicates volumes of information to the living generations. We can better know who we are based on where our families have been.

The journey to family history discovery begins with you and we take great strides to determine each client’s motivation and agenda for their research.

We learn what we can about an individual and their family from them and the family documents currently held by the family.

We scan in the currently held documents to electronically preserve them for the client, as well as add to their collection of documents with electronic and paper copies of the information we find.

We offer comprehensive genealogy research. We create a family tree for you. We utilize historical records from any number of relevant locations. We travel on your behalf to examine necessary documents should the need arise.

We extensively specialize in using census data having completed training in Washington D.C. and served as a Census Enumerator, but are well versed in other areas of family research as well.

Other specialty areas: Archivist, Author/Writer, Complier/Indexer, Conference/Reunion Planner, Editor, Ancestor/Heir Searcher, Instructor, Seminars, Lineage Societies, Photography, Project Management, Technology, and Travel & Tours.

We are sensitive to a variety of family dynamics issues and are willing to act as liaison between family members who have not spoken in a number of years.

We maintain the confidentiality of all genealogy clients, except where we have been given explicit permission to use as sample.
