The generations of our family are like the links of a chain. Every generation that is bound to us through ties of love, respect, and gratitude, makes us that much stronger. Likewise, if we can help our children and our children’s children forge these same bonds, we have given them a treasure that will last forever.

Can you do your own family history research? ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I hope you do. My job is to help you to successfully learn about your family history and genealogy – offering whatever level of help you might need. Family history research is not a complex science, but it does require knowledge of history, civil records, geography, and repositories, as well as practiced skills of analysis, deductive reasoning, and organization. Genealogical research takes time, effort, proper resources and knowledge. When you can put in these things, I hope that you do – you will love it! However, if you don’t have the time, the knowledge and skills, the proper resources and tools, or the desire to engage in research, then hiring a professional family researcher is a great option. If you need help with the research or presentation of your family history, no matter what the reason, a professional genealogist can be an indispensable partner.

Every person, every family has a story. I can help you find your story and share it. To me, the presentation of your genealogy can be just as important as the research itself. What a tragedy it would be to put all your effort and resources into researching your ancestry, only to see that information lost again because the rest of your family did not have access to or appreciation for the work that had been done. I can help you and your family move past the sterile names and dates, and see the incredible stories in your family’s history, presenting it in a form that can be easily shared and enjoyed by everyone.
